FOR  PRIVATE  TREATMENT  OF  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS. 


INTRODUCTORY* 

In  this  book  I  shall  endeavor  to  guard  the  unsuspecting  against 
the  arts  of  the  vender  who  is  trying  to  get  something  for  nothing; 
also,  to  show  that  with  the  use  of  the  instructions  contained  in 
this  book,  any  man  with  ordinary  intelligence  can  treat  his  horses 
and  cattle  privately  at  home  with  Dr.  Lesure's  remedies  and 
recipes  attached  in  the  following  pages  with  small  cost  and 
entire  success. 

It  is  my  object  to  be  useful  rather  than  to  offend  or  to  appear 
learned.  I  shall  avoid  all  hard  names,  technical  terms,  etc.,  and 
will  offer  to  the  public  the  information  I  possess  with  candor  and 
simplicity.  In  a  treatise  of  this  nature  the  foolish  claim  to  entire 
originality  must  be  abandoned.  I  hope  this  acknowledgement 
will  be  received  in  place  of  marks  of  quotation. 

When  the  reader  reflects  that  a  large  volume  has  been  written 
on  the  horse's  foot  alone,  he  will  excuse  me  for  not  going  into 
detail  for  gratuitious  distribution  on  so  many  subjects,  which  I 
shall  explain  as  briefly  as  possible  under  the  headlines  of  the 
different  preparations  I  prescribe  for  the  private  treatment  of 
domestic  animals.  Many  of  them  will  also  be  found  of  great 
value  as  family  medicines,  in  proportionate  doses,  either  for 
external  or  internal  use.  The  reader  will  find,  upon  looking  up 
the  reports  of  the  Bureau  of  Chemistry  of  the  United  States,  at 
Washington,  D.  C,  that  the  proprietary  veterinary  medicines,  as 
a  whole,  put  up  for  sale  in  the  United  States  are  much  purer  and 
of  a  higher  standard  than  thousands  of  similar  remedies  put  up 
and  largely  advertised  as  strictly  for  family  use.  Remember 
medicines,  whether  for  man  or  the  lower  animal  creation,  all 
come  from  the  same  source,  the  only  difference  being  the  size  of 
dose,  the  average  dose  for  the  horse  being  ten  times  greater  than 
that  for  man.

4  DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 

I  do  want  to  impress  upon  every  one  using  my  medicines,  that 
to  get  the  very  best  results  from  them  the  plain  directions  on  each 
and  every  bottle  or  package  should  be  followed  as  closely  as  pos- 
sible. By  doing  this,  together  with  good  nursing,  any  ordinary 
horseman  can  treat  his  stock  just  as  successfully  as  though  I  were 
at  his  side  to  direct  him  personally. 

These  medicines  I  have  used  for  many  years  in  a  large  and 
successful  practice.  I  have  also  been  a  large  horse  owner  and 
have  done  my  experimenting  on  my  own  stock,  and  am  giving 
the  public  the  benefit. 

My  Liquid  Medicines  are  compounded  in  my  laboratory  at 
Keene,  N.  H.,  under  my  personal  supervision  by  a  registered 
chemist  of  many  years'  experience,  therefore  we  know  they  are 
of  perfect  strength  and  purity. 

My  Powders  are  composed  of  roots  and  barks,  imported  direct 
from  foreign  countries,  of  the  highest  grade  that  money  will  pur- 
chase, and  I  will  state  to  those  who  have  never  used  my  medicines 
that  they  are  no  experiment,  but  have  been  used  successfully  for 
years  in  most  of  the  larger  stables  in  this  and  foreign  countries. 
Furthermore,  I  take  all  chances  by  refunding  the  money  at  once 
to  any  dissatisfied  customers. 

This  guarantee  means  a  square  deal  to  all  customers,  as  either 
Dun's  orBradstreet's  commercial  guide  will  advise  that  my  per- 
sonal standing  is  such  that  I  could  not  afford  to  promise  more 
than  I  intend  to  fulfill. 

In  conclusion,!  will  say  that  all  my  medicines  are  as  pure  and 
clean  as  any  druggist  carries  on  his  shelves  or  your  physician 
carries  in  his  case,  and  are  honestly  recommended  for  successful 
private  treatment  for  both  veterinary  and  family  use. 

Respectfully, 

Dr.  J.  G.  Lesure.

SUPERIORITY 

THE  BEST 
TRADE  MARK 


HE  products  of  men's  brains  and  hands  are  often  appropriated  and 
imitated  by  others.  There  is  only  one  sure  protection  from  such 
buccaneering.  Do  things  a  little  better  than  the  other  fellow,  so  that  your 
name  or  trade  mark  is  a  guarantee  of  excellence. 

For  over  twenty  years  I  have  made  my  celebrated  Veterinary  Medicines 
just  as  good  as  they  could  be.  I  am  the  originator  of  this  particular  class 
of  medicines.  I  have  never  tried  to  see  how  cheap  I  could  make  them, 
but  I  have  always  tried  to  see  how  good  I  could  make  them,  placing  quality 
before  profit  in  every  case.  To-day  the  picture  of  Dr.  Lesure  on  a  package 
of  medicine  is  sufficient  to  insure  its  strength  and  purity.  The  name  Dr. 
Lesure  is  synonymous  with  honesty.  It  stands  for  the  same  as  the  word 
"sterling"  on  silver.  Competitors,  jealous  of  my  success,  have  tried  to 
imitate  ray  goods  and  throw  mud  at  me.  They  have  put  their  medicines 
up  in  packages  closely  resembling  mine  in  appearance,  but  the  quality, 
strength,  and  curative  properties  are  not  to  be  compared.  Who  would 
question  the  value  between  a  real  diamond  and  a  paste  jewel,  or  gold  dust 
and  brass  filings.  One  never  has  much  respect  for  a  man  who  sells  shoddy 
or  deals  in  imitations.    There  is  enough  of  the  good. 

Ally  yourself  with  a  house  that  stands  for  something  high,  that  makes 
and  sells  something  good. 

Local  Agents  Wanted. — I  want  one  or  more  agents  in  every  town  or 
village  to  represent  my  medicines.  I  want  a  man  that  every  one  has  con- 
fidence in ;  that  they  don't  doubt  for  a  minute  that  he  means  what  he  says 
and  will  do  as  he  agrees ;  and  when  he  tells  a  man  that  he  will  refund  the 
purchase  money  if  goods  do  not  prove  satisfactory,  they  know^  he  will  do  it, 
as  I  warrant  every  bottle  or  package  to  prove  satisfactory.  I  want  no 
man's  money  that  has  not  received  his  value. 

Ordering  Goods. — If  these  goods  cannot  be  obtained  in  your  own  town,  I 
will  send  them  by  express  to  any  address  in  the  world  on  receipt  of  retail 
price.  These  goods  are  kept  by  a  great  variety  of  dealers,  and  will  be  found 
in  nearly  every  town.  They  are  sold  by  druggists,  general  stores,  harness 
stores,  grain  stores,  and  in  many  cases  by  blacksmiths  and  liverymen.  If 
you  cannot  find  them  at  any  of  the  above  places  in  your  town,  send  direct 
to  Dr.  J.  G.  Lesure,  Keene,  N.  H.,  or  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  and  I  will  send 
them  to  you.

NURSING. 

I  want  to  impress  every  one  using  my  medicines  that  thorough- 
ness and  persistency  is  the  key  to  success,  and  that  medicine 
amounts  to  Httle  without  good  nursing  and  good  care;  but  with 
these  two  essential  things ,  and  a  proper  use  of  my  medicines, 
ordinary  horsemen  can  successfully  treat  all  diseases  of  stock 
with  very  little  use  for  a  veterinary. 

As  soon  as  you  find  you  have  a  sick  horse,  get  it  into  a  roomy 
stall  (box  stall, if  possible).  This  will  allow  the  animal  to  move 
about  and  get  itself  into  the  most  restful  position  possible. 

Always  avoid  draughts,  but  arrange  so  that  there  will  be 
plenty  of  pure,  fresh  air.  Stall  should  be  located  in  quiet  part 
of  the  stable ;  can  have  windows  darkened  if  desired. 

Keep  the  floor  clean  without  washing  while  in  use,  and  covered 
with  a  liberal  amount  of  clean  sawdust  or  shavings,  putting 
fresh  straw  enough  above  this  to  come  up  to  the  horse's  knees. 
Fasten  blankets  on  loosely,  change  the  clothing  twice  a  day,  keep 
set  that  you  have  off  well  aired  while  not  in  use.  Feed  variety  of 
soft  and  easily  digested  food  in  small  quantities,  such  as  bran 
mashes,  scalded  oats  and  a  little  good  hay.  Always  take  away 
what  they  do  not  eat  of  the  mashes  or  any  other  moist  food, 
before  feeding  again. 

In  using  the  medicines  be  sure  and  follow  directions  carefully, 
as  only  those  fail  to  accomplish  desired  results  who  do  not  follow 
directions.

PHYSICKING. 

It  is  always  best  to  prepare  the  horse  for  physic  by  giving  a 
bran  mash  the  day  before  the  physic  is  given,  as  the  medicine 
will  act  more  favorably,  and  there  is  less  danger  of  superpurga- 
tion,  following.  Aloes,  V2  to  1  oz.,  may  be  given,  according  to  the 
age  and  size  of  the  horse.  The  surgeon's  rule  is :  Give  one  dram 
for  each  3^ear  up  to  seven.  My  favorite  physic  is  raw  linseed  oil, 
one  quart  given  in  two  doses,  twelve  hours  apart  for  a  horse,  and 
one  quart  doses  for  full-grown  cattle.  Twenty-four  hours  is  the 
usual  time  for  a  physic  to  act.  Never  work  a  horse  the  second 
day  after  physicking  him , as  you  are  liable  to  excite  inflammation, 
which  is  dangerous.  Should  purging  continue  longer  than  is 
necessary,  give  a  gruel  of  wheat  flour  intermixed  with  30-drop 
doses  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Colic  Cure.  Horses  sometimes  appear  sick 
and  refuse  their  food  after  taking  physic,  either  during  after- 
noon of  same  day  or  the  following  morning  from  an  overloaded 
stomach  at  the  time  the  physic  is  given,  or  improper  feeding  too 
soon  afterward.  This  is  generally  caused  by  improper  or  lack  of 
preparation  before  medicine  is  given,  as  above  directed.  Never 
physic  with  balls  that  have  been  prepared  for  a  long  time  if  you 
want  satisfactory  results,  but  have  your  druggist  prepare  them 
fresh  when  wanted.

FEEDING. 

The  natural  food  for  a  horse  is  grass,  but  when  compelled  to 
work,  they  must  have  more  strengthening  and  flesh-producing 
food.    For  good  health  and  to  have  them  in  good  shape  for  work, 

their  food  must  also  be  nutri- 
tious and  have  bulk  enough 
to  insure  good  digestion,  so 
that  all  parts  of  the  body  will 
be  strengthened. 

One  should  know  how 
much  each  horse  requires  per 
day,  how  much  grain  and  how 
much  rough  food,  and  w^hat 
proportion  to  give  each  horse, 
and  at  what  intervals.  Select 
your  feed  with  a  view  to  qual- 
ity, the  less  bulk  the  better, 
just  so  the  strengthening  qual- 
ities are  contained  in  the  food. 
Feed  good  oats,  cracked 
corn,  and  clean  hay,  and  give 
a  bran  mash  once  or  twice  a 
w^eek  with  Dr.Lesure's  Renova- 
tor Powders,  and  your  horses 
will  thrive  and  their  coats 
will  always  look  sleek. 

How  to  Make  a  Good  Bran 
Mash. — Take  three  quarts  of 
oats  and  three  quarts  of  bran, 
add  a  handful  of  fine  salt  and 
one  dose  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Re- 
novator Powders.  Over  this 
pour  four  or  five  quarts  of  boiling  water.  Cover  up  and  let 
steam  thirty  minutes.    Then  feed.

WATERING. 

Water  is  just  as  essential  as  food.  Stock  should  be  supplied 
with  fresh,  clean,  soft  water.  The  animal  itself  is  the  best  judge 
as  to  the  quantity,  as  it  will  not  drink  any  more  than  is  needed 
for  health.  Always  water  the  first  thing  in  the  morning  and  wait 
at  least  twenty  minutes  before  feeding.  Do  the  same  again  at 
noon  and  at  night.  Some  horses  will  drink  again  at  bedtime  if 
offered  them  and  others  will  not.  By  following  this  rule  your 
horses  will  be  saved  from  the  torture  of  thirst  and  from  many  a 
disease.

THE  VETERINARY  CLINICAL  THERMOMETER 
AND  HOW  TO  USE  IT* 


First  shake  the  mercury  in  the  tube  down  to  below  98° ;  do 
this  by  swinging  the  hand  sharply  until  the  mercury  in  the  tube 
is  all  together ;  then  raise  the 
horse's  tail  and  insert  the  bulb 
or  heavy  end  about  two-thirds 
of  its  length  into  the  rectum, 

let  it  remain  at  least  five  min-  

utes,   then  remove    and    note 

exactly  the  top  of  the  column  of  mercury.    This  will  show 

the  horse's  temperature.

HOW  TO  TAKE  THE  PULSE  OF  A  HORSE. 

It  is  very  important  in  diagnosing  a  disease  to  be  able  to  take 
the  pulse.  This  is  best  done  by  placing  the  finger  on  the  edge  of 
thejaw-bone  and  drawing  it  along  until  you  find  a  notch  where 
the  artery  crosses.  There  you  will  feel  a  throbbing.  That  is  the 
pulse.  In  health  the  beat  is  from  thirty-six  to  forty-two  per 
minute ;  at  sixt3^  there  will  be  considerable  fever,  and  at  eighty 
the  case  is  dangerous ;  and  the  horse  will  not  survive  long  at  a 
hundred  unless  you  do  something  to  reduce  it. 

Always  keep  everything  as  quiet  as  possible,  as  noise  or  ex- 
citement will  increase  the  pulse  and  aggravate  the  disease. 

Temperature.  —  The  normal  temperature  of  a  healthy  horse 
may  be  placed  at  about  98°  to  99°.  The  temperature  is  subject 
to  slight  alterations  under  certain  influences. 

The  most  accurate  method  of  taking  the  temperature  is  by 
inserting  a  clinical  thermometerinto  the  rectum.  The  thermom- 
eter should  remain  in  the  gut  at  least  five  minutes. 

Before  inserting  be  sure  the  mercury  is  below  the  minimum 
temperature.  The  end  containing  the  mercury  should  be  pushed 
in  gently,  leaving  just  enough  outside  to  take  hold  of  when  you 
desire  to  take  it  out. 

Respiration.— A  horse  in  health,  standing  still,  breathes  from 
twelve  to  fifteen  times  a  minute;  work  or  any  excitement  increases 
the  number  of  respirations.  The  manner  of  breathing  is  changed 
by  disease.  Quick  breathing  refers  to  an  increased  number  of 
respirations,  which  may  be  due  to  disease  or  to  simple  exercise. 
Difficult  breathing  is  always  associated  with  something  abnor- 
mal and  is  often  a  guide  to  the  trouble.

agent,  drove  into  our  stables  and  found  them  full  of  distemper,  with  fever 
running  high;  says,  "  J5e  your  own  doctor;  will  guarantee  them  all  in 
normal  condition  in  from  three  to  five  days,  or  no  charge  for  the  Medi-

THE  HORSE'S  MOUTH. 

This  is  one  of  the  most  sensitive  organs.  All  young  horses, 
coming  three  or  four  years  old,  should  have  their  mouths  and 
teeth  carefully  examined  when  any  symptoms  of  tenderness  or 
irritation  are  shown,  as  it  is  at  this  age  that  some  of  the  decidu- 
ous molars  are  replaced  by  the  permanent  teeth.  In  some  cases 
this  gives  rise  to  much  pain  and  annoyance  to  horses,  affecting 
their  temper  and  sensibility. 

Again,  in  some  horses  the  structure  of  the  teeth  is  of  a  com- 
paratively soft  nature,  and  wears  away  upon  the  grinding  sub- 
stances in  a  ragged  and  uneven  manner,  so  that  their  teeth 
severely  cut  and  lacerate  the  tongue  and  cheeks;  or,  by  a  driver 
repeatedly  lugging  on  one  rein  or  the  other,  hard,  sharp,  spurlike 
points  are  formed  or  irregularly  grown  on  the  borders  of  the 
teeth,  which  become  an  exciting  cause  of  injury  to  the  gums  and 
membranes  of  the  mouth,  impairing  the  natural  processes  of 
mastication  and  contributing  at  the  same  time  to  a  bad  way  of 
going.  Also  the  animal  may  suffer  from  toothache,  due  to  a 
displaced  crownof  a  temporary  molar,  or  from  ulceration,  which 
will  cause  him  to  champ  fretfully  upon  the  bit  and  lurch  to  one 
side  in  such  sudden  manner  that  he  "loses  his  feet"  becoming 
entirely  unbalanced  in  his  gait.  If  a  horse  pulls  his  head 
and  neck  out  of  a  line  with  the  median  plane  of  his  body,  the 
hind  limb  on  that  side  is  correspondingly  misdirected,  and  his 
foot  is  forced  to  land  between  the  front  ones  instead  of  in  a  line 
with  them;  thus  cross-firing  naturally  impairs  the  steadiness  of 
his  gait  and  injuries  are  liable  to  occur  from  it.  If  a  humane 
treatment  of  the  teeth  is  pursued  by  people  w^ho  own  horses,  they 
will  obviate  these  changes  of  locomotion,  and  at  the  same  time 
be  amply  repaid  by  the  improved  appearance  of  their  animals, 
through  proper  mastication  of  their  food,  and  by  their  general 
order  of  improvement.

THE  HORSE'S  AGE  AND  HOW  TO  DETERMINE  IT 
BY  THE  APPEARANCE  OF  THE  TEETH. 

In  from  eight  to  fourteen  days  after  birth  the  first  or  middle 
nippers  of  the  set  of  milk  teeth  are  cut  (see  Figure  1);  in  four 
to  six  weeks  afterwards  the  next  pair  will  be  cut  (see  Figure  2); 
and  at  the  age  of  six  to  eight  months  the  last  set  will  be  cut  (see 
Figure  3).  At  two  years  of  age  the  inner  wall  of  the  corner 
teeth  has  grown  up  level  with  the  outer  w^all,  and  the  center 
teeth  show  considerable  wear  and  appear  somewhat  smaller 
than  they  did  in  the  yearling. 

At  three  years  of  age  the  two  center  milk  teeth  are  shed  and 
permanent  incisors  come  in,  so  that  at  three  years  of  age  the  jaw 
contains  two  permanent  center  teeth  and  two  milk  teeth  on  either 
side  (see  Figure  4).  At  four  years  of  age  the  next  two  milk 
teeth  are  shed  and  replaced  by  permanent  teeth,  so  that  at  this 
age  the  jaw  contains  four  permanent  and  two  milk  teeth  (see 
Figure  5). 

The  tusks  appear  on  the  lowerjaw  on  either  side  betw^een  the 
incisors  and  molars  at  four,  and  continue  to  grow  until  the  horse 
is  five  years  old  and  past. 

At  tive  years  ofagethe  two  remaining  milk  teeth  are  shed  and 
replaced  by  permanent  ones,  so  that  at  this  age  the  jaw  has  a  full 
set  (six  permanent  incisors);  but  the  corner  teeth  have  no  inner 
walls  and  by  this  you  can  easily  tell  a  five-  from  a  six-year-old 
mouth  (see  Figure  6). 

At  six  years  of  age  the  inner  wall  of  the  corner  teeth  has 
grown  up  level  with  the  outer  wall  (see  Figure  7).  The  mouth 
is  now  complete  in  incisors  and  no  further  structural  changes 
take  place. 

Between  the  ages  of  three  and  five  the  cups  are  very  plain  in 
all  the  permanent  teeth,  but  at  six  the  cups  are  wearing  and  at 
seven  have  disappeared  from  the  center  teeth  and  are  wearing 
out  of  the  two  adjacent  ones,  and  are  seen  plainly  only  in  the 
corner  teeth  (see  Figure  8). 

At  eight  years  of  age  the  marks  have  disappeared  from  all  but 
the  corner  teeth  and  can  hardly  be  seen  in  these  (see  Figure  9). 

ALWAYS  FOLLOW  DIRECTIONS  CAREFULLY. 


20 


DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 


At  nine  years  of  age  the  marks  have  usually  disappeared  from 
all  the  teeth,  but  there  may  still  be  a  trace  of  the  enamel  which 
lined  the  original  hollow  (see  Figure  10). 

At  twelve  or  thirteen  the  last  traces  of  the  enamel  have  disap- 
peared and  the  lower  teeth  all  show  a  rounded  section  (see 
Figure  11). 


Figure  16.    Four  years. 

At  fourteen  (see  Figure  12),  and  from  that  to  seventeen  years 
of  age  (see  Figure  13),  the  teeth  are  triangler  in  form,  the 
center  ones  at  fourteen,  the  middle  ones  at  fifteen,  and  the  corner 
ones  at  sixteen  or  seventeen. 

At  eighteen  years  of  age  (see  Figure  14)  the  teeth  lengthen 
and  become  contracted  and  at  twenty  or  twenty-one  the  teeth 
loose  their  triangler  shape  (see  Figure  15). 

The  above  rules,  however,  do  not  hold  good  in  all  cases.  They 
may  vary  according  to  circumstances.  The  hardness  or  softness 
of  the  teeth,  and  the  food  of  the  animal  will  in  some  cases  change

the  time  required  to  wear  out  the  mark.  Western  horses  which 
graze  on  the  tough,  but  nutritious  native  grasses  will  not  retain 
their  mark  as  long  as  horses  raised  on  well  cultivated  farms  and 
pastures. 

Constant  gnawing  of  the  animal,  called  cribbing,  is  also  con- 
ducive to  wearing  the  teeth  off  rapidly.     When  the  upper  teeth 


Figure  17.     Five  years. 


project  over  and  in  front  of  the  low^er,  a  condition  called  * '  parrot 
mouth,"  no  wear  of  the  incisors  takes  place.  In  this  state  it  is 
impossible  for  the  horse  to  graze  in  the  pastures.  Sometimes 
the  lower  jaw  projects  beyond  the  upper,  but  this  condition  is 
very  rare. 

The  marks  or  cups  in  the  upper  teeth  remain  visible  much 
longer  than  in  the  lower  teeth,  the  hollow  on  the  upper  incisors,

which  are  larger  and  longer  than  the  lower  ones,  being  nearly 
twice  as  deep. 

At  the  age  of  seven  (figure  18)  the  narrow  lower  corner  in- 
cisors begin  to  wear  the  upper  ones  into  a  well-defined  angle. 
This  angle  becomes  more  marked  at  eight  and  when  a  horse 
becomes  nine  years  old  it  appears  as  a  deep  notch.  Sometimes 
the  corners  have  been  rasped  off  with  the  intention  to  deceive  a

prospective  purchaser  as  to  the  age  of  the  horse,  but  unless  this 
is  done  they  are  always  present. 

A  yellowish  transverse  line,  most  marked  in  the  two  center 
incisors,  and  indistinct  in  the  others,  appears  at  eight  years.  This 
is  called  the  dental  star,  and  is  very  useful  in  determining  the 
age  after  the  ninth  year,  when  determination  by  the  teeth  becomes 
difficult  and  uncertain.  After  the  twelfth  3^ear  the  age  can  only 
be  approximately  determined.  We  have  no  positive  means  for 
finding  the  age  of  a  horse  after  sixteen  3^ears,  and  a  most  careful 
examination  of  the  teeth,  gums,  head  and  frame  is  necessary  to 
find  the  approximate  age.    It  is  much  better  judgment  to  say

that  a  horse  is  about  eighteen,  twenty,  twenty-one  or  twenty- 
four,  than  to  pronounce  an  old  horse  "eighteen  past,"  or  ''rising 
twenty"  after  a  lengthy  examination  of  the  mouth. 

A  gradual  change  takes  place  in  the  dental  star,  until  at  fifteen 
it  can  be  found  near  the  center  of  the  tables  or  the  tops  of  the 
teeth.  At  that  age  the  dental  star  is  distinct  and  round  in  all  the 
lower  incisors. 


Figure  19.     Nineteen  years. 


If  a  horse's  tongue  projects  over  the  bars,  it  is  a  sign  that  he 
has  done  over  twelve  years  of  hard  service  at  poor  food  and  ill 
treatment. 

Young  horses  have  tables  which  are  broad  in  the  direction  of 
the  jaw,  while  the  tables  in  old  horses  are  round  or  broad  and 
perpendicular  to  the  jaw. 

In  figures  16, 17  and  19  can  be  seen  the  difference  between  the 
teeth  of  young  and  old  horses.  In  young  horses  (figures  16  and 
17)  they  come  together  at  a  very  obtuse  angle,  almost  in  a  line,

while  in  old  horses  the  angle  is  so  small  as  to  make  the  lower 
teeth  appear  like  a  prolongation  of  the  jaw. 

In  figure  20  are  shown  a  series  of  cross-sections  cut  from  the 
three  right  lower  incisors  of  a  five-year-old  horse,  illustrating  the 
wear  in  the  top  surface  of  the  incisors.  The  top  sections  are  long 
in  the  direction  of  thejaw,  1  and  2;  oval  in  the  next  three  sections, 
3,  4  and  5 ;  rounded  forms  in  6,  7,  8  and  9 ;  triangular  or  long 
from  front  to  rear  in  10,  11,  12,  13,  14,  15,  and  16.  The  first 
shapes  are  those  of  the  3^oung  horse,  while  the  last  belong  to  the 
old  horse. 

The  process  called  ''bishoping"  consists  in  rasping  off  the 
corners  of  the  notches  in  the  upper  teeth  and  burning  new  marks

or  cups  in  the  lower  ones.  This  method  is  sometimes  resorted  to 
in  order  to  fraudently  give  the  mouth  of  the  horse  a  more 
youthful  appearance. 

It  is  very  seldom  practical,  however,  as  the  method  is  very 
troublesome,  the  chances  for  detection  great,  and  the  ages  of 
ordinary  horses  are  not  of  such  importance  as  to  justify  the  risk 
attendantupon  the  operation,  while  the  ages  of  valuable  horses 
are  matters  of  record,  and  it  would  be  a  difficult  matter  to  deceive 
experienced  horsemen. 

Bishoped  teeth  can  easily  be  detected .  Simply  remember  that

ADVICE  TO  TEAMSTERS. 

First,  a  driver  should  always  be  kind  to  his  team.  See  that 
they  are  fed  regularly  with  good  clean  feed.  Cracked  corn  and 
oats,  with  a  sprinkle  of  bran,  make,  with  good  hay,  the  best  of 
all  feeds.  Avoid  cheap  stock  foods.  They  are  like  cheap  whiskey 
to  a  drinker;  they  get  accustomed  to  it  and  must  always  have  it.

Any  firm  that  tells  you  that  you  will  have  to  feed  their  food  or 
medicine  all  the  time  to  keep  your  horses  healthy  are  deceiving 
you  to  get  your  or  your  employer's  money. 

When  you  do  need  a  tonic  or  renovator  get  the  very  best  you 
can  find ;  the  best  of  anything  is  always  the  cheapest.

A  piece  of  rock  salt  should  always  be  left  where  the  horse 
can  reach  it;  it  won't  eat  too  much.  See  that  the  harnesses  are 
kept  soft,  that  the  collar  fits  snug,  with  just  room  enough  at  the 
bottom  to  stick  your  hand  through.  If  the  collar  is  too  large  you 
are  apt  to  get  the  draft  too  low,  which  causes  intense  misery 
and  sore  shoulders.    Never  check  a  team  horse  up  tight ;  give

him  all  the  freedom  of  head  possible.  If  he  could  talk  he  would 
thank  you  for  it.  See  that  your  team  is  always  shod  well  with 
toe  calks,  especially  behind,  as  that  is  where  all  the  propelling 
force  comes  from  when  heavy  loaded.  Keep  the  hoofs  good  and 
strong  with  Dr.  Lesure's  Electric  Hoof  Ointment.  Never  allow 
the  shoer  to  cut  away  the  frog.  It  is  both  foolish  and  ignorant. 
A  light  whip  and  good  judgment  will  accomplish  much.  Re- 
member the  horse  is  a  noble,  proud,  and  sensitive  animal,  the 
most  useful  known  to  man,  and  is  deserving  of  the  greatest 
kindness  at  all  times.  Many  horses  are  abused  and  suffer  much 
from  bad  treatment  by  inexperienced  men. 


SPECIAL  WORDS  OF  CAUTION* 

If  your  horse  has  been  driven  hard,  and  is  a  little  sore  and  stiff 
afterwards,  it  is  mostly  your  fault,  for  lack  of  a  little  attention 
at  the  proper  time.  Every  horseman,  especially  liverymen,  and 
where  driving  horses  are  kept,  should  always  keep  Dr.  Lesure's 
Fever  Drops  and  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops  on  hand,  so  that  when 
a  horse  comes  in  after  a  hard  drive  he  can  first  give  him  thirty 
drops  of  Fever  Drops,  following  it  in  thirty  minutes  with  the 
same  dose  of  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops.  You  will  find  he  won't 
chill,  in  winter ;  and  in  summer,  will  cool  off  more  rapidly,  and 
soon  revive  his  spirits,  and  be  ready  to  eat  a  good  feed. 

No  veterinary  surgeon  can  offer  you  a  better  or  cheaper  treat- 
ment than  this.  One  trial  will  convince  any  man.  Many  a  horse 
is  ruined  for  life  in  consequence  of  neglect  or  want  of  proper 
care  after  severe  exertion,  as  above  noted.

Dear  Sir:  We  take  pleasure  in  recommending  your  Veterinary  Medicines 
to  all  dealers  in,  or  owners  of  horses.  We  have  used  them  in  our  stable 
with  remarkable  success.  Would  especially  recommend  the  Colic  Cure,  which 
is  surely  a  positive  cure  for  that  disease.  No  horse  ow^ner  should  be  with- 
out it  in  his  possession.

very  good  success ;  but  the 
principle  of  them  seemed 
wrong,  as  they  simply  stupe-

cause,  and  left  the  horse  in  a 
weak  and  debilitated  condi-

veterinarians,  and  got  many

Remember  that  Dr.  Lesure^s  Colic 
Cwre,put  up  in  two  bottles,  marked  No. 
1  and  No.  2,  is  the  original  and  first 
remedy  for  Colic  put  up  in  that  style 
in  the  United  States;  but  there  are 
many  imitations. 

It  is  an  acknowledged  fact  that  more 
horses  die  ever3^  j^ear  of  Colic  than  of 
all  other  non-contagious  diseases  com- 
bined. And  there  is  nothing  more  dis- 
quieting than  to  find  that  your  horse 
has  a  sharp  attack  of  Colic,  as  you 
know  that  it  must  be  relieved  in  a 
short  time  or  he  will  die.

I    struck  a  combination    of 

drugs  that  do  what  I  want 

them  to;   i.  e.,   cure  in  every 

case  and  leave  the    horse    fit 

to  go  to  work  without  further 

treatment.     And    since    using 

this  cure  I  have  never  lost  a 

case  of  Colic.     I  have  sold  it 

on     the     market     for    over 

twenty-five    years    and  never 

have  heard  of  a  man  losing  a 

horse  that  was  treated  with       second  stage  of  spasmodic  colic. 

this    cure,   if  administered   in 

any  reasonable  time  and  no  other  medicine  given. 

'/  have  sold  a  package  of  Colic  Cure  to  stablemen  that  w^ere 

using  doses  of  from  two 
ounces  to  a  pint,  and  when  I 
saw  them  later  and  asked 
them  what  results  they  ob- 
tained from  it  they  said,  "I 
did  not  dare  to  risk  it  and 
used  my  old  remedy";  and  in 
other  cases  I  have  found  men 
that  had  given  one  or  two 
doses,  and,  when  the  horse 
had  a  spasm,  became  fright- 
ened and  went  for  their  large  dose,  and  their  horse  died ;  but 

none  that  stuck  to  my  medicines.    I  would  say  to  one  and  all 

that  no  one  need  hesitate  be- 
cause the  dose  is  only  thirty 

drops,  as  thirty  drops  of  the 

right  medicine  beats  the  large 

bottleful  by  long  odds,  as  it 

leaves  the  horse  in  much  bet- 
ter condition    when    relieved.

it  cures,  is  easy  to  give,  is  free  from  opiates,  and  leaves  the  horse 
in  normal  condition,  ready  for  work.  It  is  also  a  remedy  for 
stoppage  of  w^ater,  and  black  water ;  and  the  treatment  is  the 
same  as  for  Colic. 

The  average  horseman  will  find  it  difficult  to  diagnose  all 
cases  correctly,  but  with  this  remedy  all  cases  can  be  treated 
alike;   with  positive  results. 

There  are  two  forms  of  Colic,  Spasmodic  and  Flatulent,  al- 
though almost  any  abdominal  trouble  causing  irritation  and 
pain  is  generally  called  Colic;  and  I  will  sa}^  here,  that  it  is  safe  to 
give  a  dose  of  Colic  Cure  any  time  that  a  horse  acts  as  though 
he  is  in  pain,  as  it  is  perfectly  safe  and  may  prevent  more  serious 
trouble. 

Spasmodic  Colic  is  a  contraction  or  spasm  of  the  muscular 
fibers  of  the  small  intestines;  it  comes  on  very  suddenly  and  many 
times  very  severely,  without  any  apparent  cause,  but  generally 
results  from  over-draught  of  cold  water  on  an  empt3^  stomach, 
or  a  draught  of  wind  causing  a  sudden  change  of  temperature 
in  the  system,  and  consequently  pain.  The  s^-mptoms  vary  ac- 
cording to  the  severity  of  the  case ;  many  times  there  is  only  a 
slight  cramping  or  griping,  but  more  often  the  attack  is  so  severe 
as  to  cause  the  most  intense  pain,  and  to  cause  the  horse  to  paw, 
get  up  and  down  furiousl}^  roll  over,  and  get  up  and  throw  him- 
self violently,  straining  as  though  he  would  pass  water,  but 
unable  to  because  the  spasm  contracts  the  muscles  of  the  neck 
of  the  bladder,  as  well  as  the  whole  body;  but  as  the  spasm  gives 
weij  and  the  pain  subsides,  he  will  generall3^  pass  water,  which 
is  a  good  symptom,  as  it  shows  that  the  muscles  are  relaxing.

also  sold  them  to  my  customers  in  a  radius  of  twenty  miles,  and  I  have 
never  known  a  case  where  they  fail  to  give  perfect  satisfaction.  I  consider

Flatulent  Colic  differs  from  spasmodic.  In  Flatulent  Colic 
there  is  a  formation  of  gas  caused  by  undigested  or  sour  food  in 
the  stomach,  and  it  may  be  brought  on  by  a  change  of  feed,  by 
poor  and  musty  feed,  or  by  heavy  feed  on  a  tired  stomach.  The 
food  when  sour  will  ferment ;  then  gas  will  generate,  the  horse 
will  look  bloated,  and  you  may  know  that  you  have  a  case  of 
Flatulent  Colic. 

Indamtnation  of  Bowels  may  be  mistaken  by  the  inexperi- 
enced for  Colic,  so  I  insert  the  following  table:

SURFEIT  SCARLATINA. 

Surfeit  is  of  common  occurrence,  especially  in  the  spring  and 
summer  months  among  horses  that  have  been  cruelly  or  injudi- 
ciously treated.  Sudden  changes  from  heat  to  cold,  and  over- 
feeding or  taking  too  much  cold  water  into  the  stomach  when 
in  a  heated  condition,  are  frequent  causes. 

Symptoms. — It  first  makes  its  appearance  with  many  small 
pimples  under  the  skin  on  sides  of  body,  and  particularly  along 
the  neck  underneath  the  mane.  There  is  a  partial  falling  of  the 
hair  and  a  constant  itching ;  the  lumps  sometimes  open,  discharg- 
ing a  yellowish  fluid,  the  horse  often  becoming  almost  covered 
with  small  scabs.  The  hair  on  the  mane  and  tail  will  be  nearly 
rubbed  off,  and  the  little  remaining  will  stand  erect. 

Treatment. — Change  the  food  to  bran  mash,  adding  a  Reno- 
vator Powder  and  two  teaspoonfuls  of  flowers  of  sulphur  twice 
a  day  for  a  week.  Give  the  Cough  and  Tonic  drops  twice  a  day 
to  keep  the  kidneys  acting  freely.  Wash  the  affected  parts 
twice  a  day  with  a  solutipn  of  two  ounces  Karbo  Cream  to  one 
quart  of  warm  water.  In  some  cases  where  there  is  constipation 
it  is  w^ell  to  give  a  purge  of  Barbados  Aloes  or  oil  (see 
Physicking). 

SPASMODIC   THUMPS. 

A  nervous  affection  of  the  Diaphragm  and  general  muscular 
system.  Great  excitement  and  overdriving,  especially  when  long 
continued,  are  the  most  direct  causes  for  Thumps. 

Symptoms. — An  exaggerated,  heavy,  or  thumping  motion  of 
the  flanks,  and  quivering  of  the  muscles. 

Treatment. — Give  two  60-drop  doses  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Colic 
Cure  ten  minutes  apart ;  then  follow  with  30-drop  doses  fifteen 
minutes  apart  until  the  horse  is  relieved.  Blanket  warm  and 
keep  surroundings  as  quiet  as  possible.  Feed  bran  mashes  adding 
a  Renovator  Powder  for  a  week.  No  other  treatment  is  required.

DSLESURE 


I  want  to  impress  the  reader  at  once  with 
the  one  important  fact  that  fever  remedies, 
no  matter  by  whom  they  may  be  put  up,  are 
virtually  intended  for  the  same  purpose,  first 
to  reduce  the  temperature  to  a  normal  con- 
dition, and  second  to  allay  inflammation. 
When  that  is  accomplished,  the  fever  medi- 
cine should  be  laid  aside  at  once  and  tonics 
used  instead  ;  for  you  must  never  forget  the 
great  essential  fact  that  w^here  there  is  no 
fever  or  inflammation,  fever  medicine  invari- 
ably does  more  harm  than  good.  Some  un- 
scrupulous veterinar}^  medicine  dealers,  who 
know  nothing  at  all  about  the  general  an- 
atom^^  of  the  parts  they  call  your  attention 
to,  give  their  remed3^so  many  names  "only 
to  get  your  money,"  to  impress  the  reader 
with  their  instructions  that, no  matter  what 
ails  his  animal — whether  it  be  chills,  fever, 
congestion,  or  inflammation  of  the  lungs  or 
bow^els,  w^hich  need  fever  medicine ;  or 
whether  it  be  distemper  or  one  of  the  many  catarrhal  troubles 
which  affect  only  the  head  and  throat,  with  no  internal  fever 
or  congestion  whatever — you  should  treat  them  all  alike  out 
of  their  one-bottle  "cure-all."  Let  me  advise  3^ou,  Mr.  Horse- 
man, that  no  reliable  medicine  dealer  wall  resort  to  such  methods 
to  get  trade  from  an  unsuspecting  public.  Diseases  of  the  re- 
spiratory organs  are  the  most  treacherous  domestic  animals  are

cases,  bring  the  desired  result.  I  have  seen  so  many  valuable 
horses  ruined  by  being  overdosed  with  fever  medicine  long  after 
all  fever  had  subsided,  that  I  determined  to  formulate  a  treat- 
ment that  would  have  the  approval  of  all  intelligent  live  stock 
owners  who  would  have  occasion  to  use  it. 

Shipping  Fever,  caused  by  change  of  climate  or  sudden  atmos- 
pheric changes  while  in  transportation,  or  change  from  warm  to 
cold  stables,  or  vice  versa,  generally  starts  with  a  short  cough, 
swollen  glands,  and  sore  throat,  followed  by  high  fever  and  con- 
gested kidneys.  Give  at  once  Dr.  Lesure's  Fever  Drops  in  30- 
drop  doses  every  hour  until  fever  is  reduced.  After  that,  two 
or  three  doses  a  day  will  be  enough  to  keep  the  temperature 
normal.  Give  in  connection  four  to  six  doses  a  day  of  Dr. 
Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops.  This  remedy  is  a  great  tonic 
and  diuretic,  and  acts  directly  on  the  stomach,  liver,  and  kidneys, 
throwing  off  all  poisonous  excretions,  and  starting  the  flow  of 
urine,  which  is  very  necessary  in  this  trouble.  If  your  horse 
shows  weakness  and  won't  eat,  give  him  two  doses  of  Dr. 
Lesure's  Renovator  Powders  a  day,  either  in  his  drink  or  in  a 
syrup  mass  placed  on  the  tongue.  Rub  Dr.  Lesure's  Liniment  on 
neck.    This  will  reduce  the  swollen  glands. 

Paralysis,  Azoturia,  etc. —  These  troubles  have  become  of 
late  years  very  common,  especially  among  city  horses  that  are 
highly  fed.  The  attack  is  very  alarming  in  its  aspect,  often 
occuring  very  suddenly  with  great  severity,  producing  complete 
loss  of  power  of  the  hind  quarters.  If  treated  promptly  and 
intelligently  it  is  readily  cured  in  most  cases,  but  if  neglected  or 
treated  improperly  it  is  sure  to  prove  fatal. 

Causes.— It  troubles  only  horses  that  are  in  full  flesh  or  have 
been  accustomed  to  hard  work  and  fed  heavily  on  grain  food, 
and  then  been  suddenly  allowed  to  remain  in  stable  for  a  few 
days  on  full  feed,  same  as  when  they  were  worked  daily,  thus 
forming  more  blood  than  the  system  can  dispose  of  The  organs 
become  overloaded;  and  consequently,  under  increased  action  by 
the  animal  being  put  to  work  suddenly  again,  they  become 
congested. 

Symptoms.— The  animal  is  apparently  in  good  spirits;  he 
starts  off"  as  usual,  but  soon  stops  suddenly ;  is  much  distressed  ; 
the  sweat  starts  all  over  the  body,  running  off  in  streams ;  he

FOR  PRIVATE  TREATMENT  OF  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS.  37 

puffs  and  blows  with  heaving  flanks ;  he  cannot  be  forced  to  move 
for  several  minutes,  and  finally  drops  his  hind  quarters  to  the 
ground,  one  or  both  legs  acting  as  if  twisted  or  broken;  pulse 
ver3^high,  in  some  cases  running  up  to  ninety  or  over  per  minute; 
the  muscles  of  hindquarters  are  swollen  and  rigid.  In  some  cases 
he  may  not  be  able  to  arise  from  the  first  attack,  but  in  most 
cases  loss  of  powder  is  not  complete  nor  sensibility  entirely  lost 
in  first  stages.  The  urine  soon  becomes  very  high  colored,  which 
is  almost  always  passed  with  great  difficulty. 

Treatment. — When  treated  in  the  first  stages  it  is  well  to  take 
away  four  quarts  of  blood  at  once,  empty  the  bladder  by  drawing 
the  urine  with  a  catheter,  give  one  ounce  of  aloes  or  a  pint  of 
raw  linseed  oil,  and  give  Dr.  Lesure's  Colic  Cure  every  half 
hour  until  six  doses  are  given.  If  there  is  fever,  give  a  few 
30-drop  doses  Dr.  Lesure's  Fever  Drops  until  the  temperature 
becomes  normal ;  after  that  leave  off  giving  the  Fever  Drops  and 
give  full  doses  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops  three  or 
four  times  a  day  until  the  horse  gets  up.  Persistent  applications 
of  hot- water  blankets  over  the  kidneys,  as  hot  as  the  horse  can 
stand  them,  changing  every  thirty  minutes  for  three  hours,  will 
be  found  the  very  best  kind  of  treatment.  It  may  seem  laborious 
to  many  horsemen  to  apply  this  treatment  properh^,  but  it  will 
go  a  long  way  toward  saving  your  horse,  if  you  apply  it  faithfully 
as  above  directed.  Adding  spirits  of  turpentine  to  the  hot  water 
v^ill  aid  much  in  relieving  the  congested  parts.  It  is  not  at  all 
necessary  when  treating  for  Azoturia  to  put  the  horse  in  slings; 
in  fact  better  results  will  be  obtained  without  them  if  the  horse 
is  turned  over  every  four  hours,  and  between  turning  left  to  lie 
as  quietly  as  possible.  Neither  should  the  horse  be  urged  to  get 
up  too  soon,  as  he  will  make  the  effort  himself  when  able  to  stand 
up.  Injections  of  soap  and  water  should  always  be  given  and 
the  legs  should  be  rubbed  with  Dr.  Lesure's  Liniment,  which 
will  relax  the  muscles  and  stimulate  circulation  while  the  horse 
is  down.  Most  cases  will  yield  to  the  above  treatment,  and  in 
from  three  to  five  days  the  horse  will  recover  his  general  health. 

I  want  to  impress  the  fact  that  in  all  nervous  diseases  good 
nursing  is  indispensable  at  every  stage.  Give  mild  diet,  hay  tea, 
carrots  well  cooked,  bran  mashes,  etc.,  and  add  two  doses  of  Dr. 
Lesure's  Renovator  Powders  daily  to  keep  up  strength  during 
recovery.

Inflatntnation  of  the  Bowels.  —  Sometimes  called  red  colic, 
and  many  times  mistaken  for  colic,  but  differing  from  colic  in 
every  respect,  being  of  a  peculiar  independent  character.  In 
many  cases  it  proves  fatal.  It  is  generally  caused  by  extreme  con- 
stipation or  over-loading  of  the  stomach,  or  succeeds  colic  when 
the  horse  has  been  given  large  doses  of  very  strong  medicine, 
like  turpentine,  chloroform,  etc.,  causing  great  irritation,  which 
in  many  instances  leads  to  inflammation,  enteritis,  etc.  Hard 
driving  until  the  weakened  animal  scours  profusely,  then  water- 
ing when  very  warm,  will  many  times  cause  Inflammation  of  the 
Bowels. 

Symptoms. —  It  generally  begins  with  some  uneasiness.  The 
mouth  is  hot  and  dry;  the  inner  membranes  of  the  mouth,  nose, 
and  eyelids  are  often  much  redder  than  natural ;  as  the  disease 
advances  the  pain  is  almost  constant.  The  horse  will  lie  down 
more  carefully  than  in  colic  and  rise  more  frequently  when  the 
attack  is  very  violent.  He  kicks  at  his  belly  or  looks  around  at 
his  sides,  pawing  his  litter  almost  continually.  The  pulse  is 
unusually  quick  and  hard  ;  breathing  is  quickened  ;  the  extremi- 
ties are  alternately  hot  and  cold,  but  continue  longer  cold  than 
hot.  Mostly  constipated ;  sometimes  the  pain  may  force  away 
a  few  hardened  balls,  but  the  principal  contents  of  the  bowels 
are  retained. 

I  have  given  the  distinguishing  features  between  this  disease 
and  colic  so  plainly  that  I  feel  the  ordinary  horseman  should  be 
able  to  decide  between  them. 

Trea  tment. — Must  be  active  and  immediate  or  a  fatal  termina- 
tion may  be  expected.  Give  at  once  one  pint  of  raw  linseed  oil, 
following  in  thirty  minutes  with  six  ounces  epsom  salts  in  warm 

Lawrence,  Mass.,  Jan.  18,  1907. 
Dr.  J.  G.  Lesure.  Keene,  N.  H. 

Dear  Sir:  1  have  for  some  time  past  used  your  various  Remedies  and 
Tonics  for  horses,  and  consider  them  far  superior  to  all  others.  Your 
Cough  and  Fever  Drops  and  Colic  Cure  I  would  especially  recommend;  as 
I  have  used  them  with  the  best  results  upon  extremely  difficult  cases, 
where  other  remedies  have  failed,  I  can  vouch  for  their  efficiency,  and  am 
pleased  to  recommend  them  to  all  horsemen  and  owners.  I  would  not 
consider  my  stable  fully  equipped,  or  my  horses  properly  cared  for,  did  1 
not  keep  a  full  outfit  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Medicines  constantly  on  hand. 

Yours  very  truly, 

E.  W.  Wright.

water.  Give  alternately  30-drop  doses  of  Dr.  Lesure'^olicCure 
and  Fever  Drops  to  relieve  the  pain  and  keep  down  inflammation 
until  six  or  eight  doses  are  given.  Give  copious  injections  into 
the  rectum  of  warm  soap  and  water,  insert  the  hand  well  greased, 
and  carefully  remove  all  hard  lumps,  thus  aiding  the  injections. 
Rub  one-fourth  of  the  contents  of  a  bottle  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Lini- 
ment over  the  belly , and  wrap  blanket  around  body  to  retain  heat. 
Repeat  in  one-half  hour.  After  you  get  a  clear  passage  through 
the  horse  the  symptoms  will  abate,  and  the  horse  will  slowly 
recover,  but  he  should  be  fed  sparingly  at  first,  with  the  addition 
of  a  Renovator  Powder  twice  a  day,  which  will  cause  him  to  gain 
strength  rapidly. 


Spinal  Meningitis. — This  disease  has  become  quite  common 
of  late  years  amongcity  horses,  but  not  very  common  in  country 
towns.  It  seems  to  attack  horses  mostly  that  stop  and  start  often 
on  heavy  loads,  getting  hard  strains  on  the  loins.  Sometimes  it 
will  suddenly  appear  in  certain  sections,  to  the  extent  that  it 
would  seem  like  an  epidemic.  It  appears  mostly  in  the  spring, 
during  cold,  damp,  and  changeable  weather. 

Symptoms. — Dullness;  hates  to  move;  pains  and  stiffness,  es- 
pecially in  turning  around  ;  sometimes  little  or  no  use  of  hind 
parts ;  soreness  of  spine ;  pulse  not  much  increased  at  first,  but 
becoming  more  rapid  as  the  disease  advances ;  has  a  distressed 
look;  will  sometimes  fall  down;  cannot  rise;  has  no  use  of  hind 
parts.  The  urine  is  often  scanty  and  suppressed,  and  the  horse 
very  costive.  The  disease  is  often  fatal,  in  severe  attacks,  in 
two  or  three  days,  but  may  continue  longer;  the  recovery  is 
slow  if  the  animal  lives. 


ALWAYS  FOLLOW  DIRECTIONS  CAREFULLY. 


40  DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 

Treatment. — Give  thirty  drops  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Fever  Drops, 
and  in  an  hour  give  the  same  of  No.  1  Colic  Cure,  and  so  con- 
tinue, giving  once  an  hour  in  alternation  for  six  hours;  then  once 
in  two  hours,  until  the  improvement  is  considerable ;  and  then 
the  intervals  may  be  made  longer.  After  the  fever  subsides,  should 
the  urine  become  scanty.  Dr.  Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops 
should  be  used  in  place  of  Fever  Drops  until  the  excretion  of 
urine  becomes  normal.  After  the  worst  symptoms  have  passed, 
and  the  fever  is  gone,  a  dose  of  No.  1  Colic  Cure,  given  four 
times  a  day,  will  be  sufficient;  but  if  fever  should  return,  give 
an  occasional  dose  of  Fever  Drops.  The  horse  should  have  a 
large,  roomy  place  with  plenty  of  good  air,  and  be  kept  warm 
and  have  plenty  of  bedding,  and  should  be  turned  over.  Rub 
my  Liniment  on  the  back  and  loins  occasionally,  put  on  freely 
and  cover  with  folded  blankets  so  as  to  steam ;  some  may  be 
rubbed  on  the  legs.  Feed  bran  mashes ;  a  few  carrots  are  good 
and  a  little  good  hay.  The  horse  should  have  rest  some  time 
after  he  recovers. 

DISEASES   OF  RESPIRATORY  ORGANS. 

Chill— This  is  a  term  used  to  designate  a  transitory  condition 
of  the  system,  which  may  terminate  in  a  severe  inflammatory 
disease  of  some  important  organ,  of  which  this  is  the  first  symp- 
tom, and  should  not  be  neglected,  as  serious  consequences  may 
follow.  Many  febril  troubles  of  a  serious  nature  are  preceded 
by  a  chill,  and  if  it  is  treated  at  once,  further  trouble  will  usually 
be  prevented. 

Causes. — The  causes  are :  Being  exposed  to  draught,  drinking 
toomuchcold  water  in  very  hot  or  very  cold  weather  when  tired, 
or  being  placed  in  a  cold,  damp  stable.  It  is  most  likely  to  occur 
when  the  system  is  in  a  debilitated  condition ;  consequently  look 
out  for  it. 


New  Haven,  Conn.,  Jan.  18,  1907. 
Dr.  J.  G.  Lesure,  Keene,  N.  H. 

Dear  Sir:  I  have  used  Dr.  Lesure's  Horse  Medicines  for  many  years, 
and  would  as  soon  be  without  ha3-  and  grain  [as  without  them]  in  my 
stables.  I  never  allow  myself  to  be  without  them,  since  buying  the  first  lot. 
They  do  the  trick  and  do  it  quick.  Yours  very  truly, 

George  P.  Rolf. 

A  DOSE  IN  TIME  KEEPS  YOUR  LIVE  STOCK  FINE.

Symptoms. — Dullness;  not  much  disposition  to  eat;  hair  starts 
up  and  looks  rough;  then  a  violent  trembling  sets  in;  there  will 
be  no  fever  to  commence  with,  but  it  will  soon  follow,  if  the 
attack  is  not  checked  at  once. 

Treatment. — As  soon  as  possible  put  on  a  warm  blanket — two 
are  better;  then  give  thirty  drops  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Fever  Drops. 
Give  the  legs  a  good  hand  rubbing  and  bandage,  if  convenient; 
in  thirty  minutes  give  another  dose  of  Fever  Drops,  and  so  fol- 
low up  until  respiration  starts  freely.  Then  be  careful  not  to 
let  the  animal  cool  too  suddenly.  This  will  in  nearly  every  case 
prevent  further  trouble;  but  if  more  serious  trouble  should  arise, 
treat  as  under  proper  head  given  elsewhere. 

Pleurisy,  Pneumonia,  and  Lung  Fever  are  all  affections  of 
the  lungs;  and  the  symptoms  are  nearly  the  same.  Odds  can  be 
detected  only  by  an  expert,  and  all  yield  to  the  same  treatment. 

Symptoms.— RQfusQS  food;  very  thirsty;  fever  running  high; 
breathes  short  and  fast;  lungs  sore  to  pressure;  mouth  hot  and 
dry;  pulse  quick  and  hard;  disinclined  to  turn  around;  coughs 
some,  which  gives  great  pain ;  urine  scanty  and  high  colored ; 
will  usually  persist  in  standing,  although  in  some  cases  is  likely 
to  lie  down  for  a  few  minutes;  moving  always  causing  more  or 
less  pain. 

Treatment.— Get  the  horse  into  a  good,  room^^  place,  with 
plenty  of  fresh  air  and  plenty  of  bedding;  keep  well  blanketed, 
but  not  overheated ;  give  the  legs  a  good  hand  rubbing  occa- 
sionally; bandage  if  convenient;  give  all  the  water  he  w^ants,  in 
small  quantities.  Give  thirty  drops  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Fever 
Drops  every  hour  for  twelve  hours ;  rub  Dr.  Lesure's  Liniment 
well  into  the  sides  and  chest ;  after  twelve  hours,  if  the  fever 
begins  to  subside,  the  intervals  may  be  made  longer  between 
doses;  give  Dr.   Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops  night  and

Dear  Sir:  It  is  with  great  pleasure  I  write  you  a  testimonial  to  the 
good  quality  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Aledicines. 

I  have  used  and  sold  them  for  the  last  ten  years  and  have  found  them 
entirely  satisfactory  both  to  myself  and  patrons,  and  cannot  too  strongly 
recommend  them  to  owners  of  horses  and  cattle. 

Yours  very  truly,

morning,  as  this  will  act  greatly  to  relieve  the  soreness  of  the 
lungs.  Feed  bran  mashes,  Renovator  Powders,  and  a  little  good 
hay,  if  the  horse  will  eat ;  if  not,  give  hay  tea  to  keep  up  its 
strength ;  scalded  oats  will  do  no  harm.  This  treatment  will 
carry  most  cases  through  successfully. 

Tonsilitis  is  an  affection  of  the  throat, 
and  may  extend  to  the  larynx,  or 
upper  part  of  the  windpipe,  and  some- 
times becomes  very  dangerous.  The 
throat  becomes  very  sore  and  much 
swollen,  and  at  times  is  accompanied 
with  high  fever,  making  it  nearly  im- 
possible to  eat  or  drink. 

Treatment.— GivQ  fifteen  drops  of  Dr. 
Lesure's  Fever  Drops  every  hour  until 
fever  subsides,  then  at  longer  intervals 
as  seems  best ;  keep  the  throat  warm ; 
rub  Dr.  Lesure's  Liniment  on  throat ;  a 
hot  poultice  is  excellent,  changed  once 
in  two  hours.  Keep  the  horse  out  of 
draughts,  well  blanketed,  and  feed  any 
thing  that  he  will  eat.  Feed  my  Renovator  Powders  every  day 
for  two  weeks.

Dear  Sir:  I  can  truly  state  that  I  have  had  better  satisfaction  in  both 
using  and  selling  Dr.  Lesure's  Veterinary  Medicines  than  anything  else 
in  the  medicine  line  I  have  handled.  A  fair  trial  will  convince  any  horseman 
of  their  great  value. 

Wishing  you  continued  success,   I   am,  Yours  truly,

Dear  Sir:  Replying  to  yours  of  the  20th,  vinll  say  I  have  had  excellent 
results  from  the  use  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Remedies,  and  have  explicit  confidence 
in  the  Colic  Cure,  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops,  and  Special  Liniment. 

The  Cough  Drops  I  have  used  in  my  family  with  excellent  results ;  in  fact, 
had  better  results  from  the  Cough  Drops  personally  than  with  any  other 
medicines  for  colds  prepared  especially  for  man's  use.

CARELESSNESS  CAUSES  THE  DEATH  OF  MANY  ANIMALS. 


FOR  PRIVATE  TREATMENT  OF  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS.  43 


PINK  EYK 

Symptoms. — Acts  dumpish;  moves  clumsily;  eyes  swollen  and 
red,  tears  trickling  down  ;  has  more  or  less  fever;  hind  legs  be- 
come swollen,  frequently  first  one  and  then  the  other,  extending 
to  the  body  and  out  on  the  belly;  appetite  poor;  sometimes 
shows  signs  of  sore  throat,  and  has  some  cough. 

Treatment.— First  exclude  strong  light,  then  give  twenty 
drops  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Fever  Drops  once  an  hour  for  six  hours ; 
then  alternate  with  Dr.  Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops  once 
in  two  hours,  making  the  medicine  come  every  hour.  Follow  this 
treatment  until  there  is  a  marked  improvement,  and  then  the 
intervals  between  doses  maybe  made  longer  according  to  case ; 
when  fever  has  fully  subsided, the  Fever  Drops  maybe  omitted, 
but  continue  the  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops  until  well.  Keep  the 
horse  as  quiet  as  possible,  as  exercise  tends  to  excite  the 
disease;  feed  soft  and  easily  digested  food. 

In£uenza. — This  trouble  al- 
most invariably  affects  horses 
shipped  a  long  distance,  from 
change  of  climate,  but  some- 
times as  an  epidemic  from 
certain  atmospheric  changes. 
The  symptoms  are  too  well 
knowm  to  all  horsemen  to 
need  any  description. 

Treatment.— li  the  horse 
shows  signs  of  fever,  give  Dr. 
Lesure's  Fever  Drops  in  20-drop  doses,  occasionally  alternating 
with  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops ;  give  once  in  from  one  to  four 
hours,  according  to  the  case,  but  where  there  is  only  a  little  cough 
and  discharge  at  the  nose,  give  the  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops  night 
and  morning;  feed  most  anything  that  the  horse  will  eat.

DR*  LESURE'S 
COUGH    AND    TONIC   DROPS 


DSLESURtS  1 

VETERINARY 


Q DROPS  ^ 


Are  a  powerful  Tonic,  Diuretic  and  Ex- 
pectorant for  Coughs,  Colds,  Indigestion, 
Loss  of  Appetite,  General  Debility,  etc., 
and  will,  if  given  in  time,  ward  off  all  con- 
tagious diseases  that  are  proving  so  fatal 
among  horses.  It  is  especially  adapted  to 
horses  with  weak  kidne^^s.  It  will  cleanse 
the  system  of  all  impurities,  and  will  show 
its  effects  in  the  urine  within  twenty-four 
hours,  and  greatly  improve  the  general  con- 
dition in  a  very  short  time. 

Its  concentrated  form  and  great  cheap- 
ness recommend  it,  it  being  given  in  30- 
drop  doses,  50  doses  for  50  cents,  150 
doses  $1.00. 

If  your  horse  coughs,  has  broken  wind, 
does  not  shed  his  old  coat,  loses  flesh,  does  not  eat  or  digest 
his  food,  scours,  is  dull  and  logy,  and  you  wish  to  fit  him  up 
finely  and  quickly,  try  this  medicine. 

Coughs  come  from  an  irritation  of  the  throat  or  lungs 
caused  by  colds,  overexertion,  bad  feed,  etc. 

Treatment. — Give  Dr.  Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops  night 
and  morning;  its  continued  use  cures  the  worst  cases. 

Heaves  are  caused  by  overexertion  when  lungs  are  sore 
and  inflamed,  and  can  be  relieved  and  many  times  cured  by  the 
continued  use  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops,  with 
Renovator  Powders.  Dr.  Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops  have 
become  indispensable  to  shippers  of  horses,  and  are  used  by 
nearly  all  shippers  throughout  the  country,  as  it  keeps  the  cough 
loose  and  prevents  it  from  getting  on  the  lungs,  and  brings 
the  horse  out,  fit  for  work,  in  one-half  the  time  otherwise. 

Bloody  Urine  is  generally  the  result  of  bad  food,  injuries  ol 
the  loins,  or  severe  strains.  Give  plenty  of  linseed  tea ;  if  the 
horse  refuses  to  drink  it,  give  drench.  Give  every  hour  Dr. 
Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops  until  six  doses  are  given.

the  genuine  D  r . 
Renovator  Powders,  look  for 
the  Doctor's  picture  on  each 
dose  box,  on  the  inside  as 
well  as  on  the  outside  cover. 
When  you  find  that,  you 
have  the  genuine  article.  Dr. 
Lesure's  Powders  are  put  up 
in  two  sizes.  The  50c.  size 
contains  twelve  doses,  and  the 
$1.00  size  contains  thirty 
doses,  two  and  one-half  times 
as  much  as  the  50c.  size,  be- 
ing forty  days'  treatment  for 

a  full-grown  horse.  I  do  not  put  forth  the  claim  that  many  of 
my  imitators  and  cheap  stock  food  venders  claim  for  their  stock 
in  trade,  that  I  will  make  your  horse  fat  on  my  Renovator  or 
convert  a  scrub  into  a  thoroughbred  by  using  it  for  a  time.  Every 
intelligent  horseo  wnerkno ws  full  well  that  any  firm  puttingforth 
such  an  argument  are  either  very  ignorant  of  the  subject  they 
attempt  to  advise  you  on,  or  both  wilful  and  cheerful  falsifiers, 

for  what  they  hope  to  gain 
from  you  financially.  I  will 
prove,  however,  to  any  horse- 
owner,  or  refund  him  his 
money  if  I  fail,  that  my  Reno- 
vator Powders  are  not  only 
the  very  best  but  also  the 
cheapest  pure  Tonic  Medicine 
in  powder  form  it  is  possible 
for  him  to  purchase  to  pu-

strengthen  the  digestive  or-

urine,  and  cleanse  the  whole 
system  through  the  stomach, 
liver  and  kidneys.  After  that 
is  accomplished,  its  mission  is 
ended.  Good  clean  hay  and

him  for  you,  after  the  blood  and  digestive  organs  are  right, 
quicker  and  better  than  all  the  medicine  or  stock  food  in 
existence. 

Another  class  of  venders  v^dll  tell  you  that  it  is  necessary  to 
feed  their  powders  or  food  every  day  in  the  year  to  keep  your 
stock  healthy.  What  would  you  think  of  your  family  physician 
were  he  to  tell  you  it  was  necessary  that  you  take  his  treatment 
every  day  in  the  year  to  keep  yourself  or  family  well?  There 
are  hundreds  of  large  owners  of  horses  and  cattle  who  have  been 
constant  users  of  my  Veterinary  Medicines  for  many  years  with 
entire  satisfaction,  who  make  it  a  rule  to  treat  all  their  stock 
with  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  Powders  both  spring  and  fall  sea- 
sons for  a  few  weeks.  This  builds  up  the  system  at  the  time  it 
is  most  needed,  while  the  animal  is  growing  a  new  coat.  After 
that  period  one  or  two  doses  a  week  for  the  balance  of  the 
year  will  be  all  that  is  needed  to  keep  any  animal  in  a  high 
state  of  health. 

These  powders  will  be  found  of  great  value  for  horses  that 
are  kept  for  light  harness  pleasure  driving,  especially  when  they 
do  not  get  regular  dail^^  exercise,  lack  of  which  has  a  great  ten- 
dency to  weaken  digestion.  It  is  very  easy  to  overdo  fine  well- 
bred  horses,  as  they  are  possessed  of  great  courage  and  can  easily 
be  driven  beyond  their  limit  of  endurance.  This  comes  about 
through  the  very  irregular  work  they  have  to  perform,  which

makes  it  very  difficult  to  keep  them  in  perfect  condition.  My 
Renovator  Powder  will  keep  the  blood  right,  aid  digestion,  and 
keep  driving  horses  looking  well  and  in  fine  spirits  at  all  times. 
All  private  stables  should  keep  a  little  assortment  of  Dr.  Lesure's 
Colic  Cure,  Fever  Drops,  Renovator  Powders,  Cough  and  Tonic 
Drops,  Hoof  Ointment,  and  Worm  Pov^^ders  always  on  hand. 
They  are  good  things  to  have  around  at  all  times.  They  will 
save  much  worry,  time,  trouble  and  expense.  In  cases  of  emer- 
gency you  will  find  a  few  doses  of  any  of  these  Remedies  in 
the  nick  of  time  will  save  many  days  of  attempted  cure  where 
the  ailment  has  gone  beyond  the  primary  stage,  which  is  very 
often  the  case  before  a  skilled  surgeon  can  be  secured,  as  he  may 
be  away  treating  some  other  case  when  you  need  him  most. 

I  have  been  in  receipt  of  constant  inquiries,  ever  since  I  first 
put  the  Renovator  Powders  on  the  market  many  years  ago, 
asking  me  to  sell  it  to  customers  in  bulk  in  box  or  barrel  lots. 
I  wish  to  state  that  many  of  the  ingredients  that  go  into  these 
powders  would  lose  much  of  their  strength  and  medicinal  qual- 
ities if  put  up  in  bulk  and  left  to  stand  around  open,  exposed  to 
the  air,  which  is  generally  the  case  with  all  goods  put  up  and 
handled  in  bulk  form.  The  result  would  be  a  loss  to  the  user 
and  an  injury  as  well,  for  the  customer  would  naturally  think  I

Medicines,  and  at  no  time  without  the  very  best  results.  Especially  do  we 
advise  all  owners  of  horses  to  use  your  Fever  Drops  and  Colic  Cure.  We

about  all  we  ask  is,  that  they  land  alive,  for  if  taken  in  fairly  good  time, 
we  can  save  them  with  your  Medicines.  We  cheerfully  recommend  them  to

was  cheating  him.  That  is  why  I  put  each  dose  up  separately 
in  compact  paper  boxes,  which  are  almost  air-tight,  thus  keeping 
them  in  perfect  condition  until  used  ;  also  to  get  just  the  proper 
amount  in  each  dose  package,  which  is  sure  to  give  much  better 
results  than  when  giving  medicine  in  unequal  quantities.  Often- 
times customers  that  buy  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  Powders,  when 
called  on  by  one  of  our  salesmen  next  trip,  will  have  almost  one- 
half  of  what  we  sold  him  before  on  hand.  When  asked  why  this 
is  or  if  he  does  not  like  the  Renovator,  the  reply  invariably  is, 
''Oh  yes,  they  are  the  finest  powders  I  ever  used,  but  they  are 
too  expensive  to  use  in  all  cases.  I  use  such  and  such  a  powder 
or  food  right  along,  but  only  use  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  in  the 
more  serious  cases  or  Avhere  a  horse  gets  pretty  sick."  A  little 
further  interrogation  will  bring  out  the  fact  that  this  man  has 
invested  in  hundreds  of  pounds,  in  the  meantime,  of  some  cheap 
article  and  fed  it  all  up  simply  because  it  was  cheap,  when  in 
fact  it  had  cost  him  more  money  than  my  Renovator  would 
have  cost  him ;  also  without  taking  into  consideration  that 
the  Remedy  that  was  able  to  take  care  of  the  bad  cases  for  him 
was  surely  the  best  to  use  under  all  circumstances. 

This  often  reminds  me  of  the  Irishman  who  asked  the  dealer 
to  fit  him  with  a  pair  of  boots.  A  pair  of  No.  7's  fit  him  nicely, 
and  the  price  asked  for  them  was  satisfactory  to  him  ;  but  when 
about  to  settle  he  happened  to  see  a  pair  of  No.  12  size  on  the 
shelf.  He  at  once  demanded  the  price  of  the  larger  pair,  and 
when  told  the  price  of  each  pair  was  the  same  he  immediately

Dear  Sir:  I  consider  jour  Colic  Cure  the  best  on  the  market.  We  have 
never  lost  a  case  with  it,  but  have  lost  many  while  using  others.  It  relieves 
the  pain  instantly  and  leaves  the  horse  ready  to  go  to  work.

pleased  I  am  to  use  your  Remedies.  I  have  had  much  better  success  with 
them  than  with  any  other  and  would  heartily  recommend  them  to  all  who

took  the  larger  pair,  paid  his  bill,  and  walked  out  with  a  much 
satisfied  air,  simply  because  he  got  more  quantity  for  his  money. 
Remember,  Mr.  Horseman,  good  articles  are  not  cheap  and  cheap 
articles  are  not  good.  I  will  quote  from  the  Bureau  of  Chem- 
istry, Agricultural  Department  of  Pennsylvania:  "In  1905 
forty-one  towns  and  cities  were  visited  by  a  special  agent  of  the 
Departmentof  Agriculture,  where  over  three  hundred  samples  of 
horse  and  cattle  foods  were  analyzed,  representing  over  two 
hundred  brands.  Sixty-three  per  cent  of  the  number  analyzed 
required  the  guarantee  for  protein  and  fat,  and  58  per  cent  out 
of  the  63  per  cent  failed  entirely  to  meet  the  requisitions."  I 
could  also  quote  from  many  other  states  where  the  authorities 
have  made  recent  investigations  showing  that  hundreds  of 
brands  of  this  kind  of  stuff,  put  up  under  fancy  names  and  sold 
through  feed  dealers  with  great  claims  as  to  both  their  food 
and  medicinal  qualities,  costing  from  five  to  fifteen  cents  a 
pound,  in  many  cases  are  even  injurious,  while  at  best  their 
true  value  is  about  the  same  as  wheat  middlings  mixed  with 
ash  and  common  salt.  As  to  one  firm,  which  boasts  a  capital 
of  over  two  million  dollars  that  it  has  received  from  owners 
of  live  stock  in  about  fifteen  years,  it  has  long  been  an  open 
secret  that  95  per  cent  of  its  product  is  refuse  from  flouring 
mills  and  cotton  and  linseed-oil  factories.

WHO  WANTS  TO  OWN  A  SICK  HORSE? 


52  DR.  J.  G.   LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 

The  Old  Story. — It  is  common  to  hear  horse  owners  say, 
' '  My  horse  is  sadly  out  of  condition  and  I  cannot  tell  either  what 
is  the  matter  with  him  or  how  to  get  him  into  better  shape." 
Variousare  the  causesthat  may  produce  this :  asuddenalteration 
of  food  or  temperature  or  habits  altogether  may  become  a  cause. 
Removing  a  horse  from  grass  to  a  heated  stable,  full  feeding, 
and  hard  exercise  will  often  do  it;  therefore  these  changes  should 
always  be  gradual.  Bad  food,  as  mow-burnt  hay,  musty  oats, 
impure  water,  foul  air,  etc.,  are  frequent  causes.  Diabetes  or 
profuse  staleing  is  often  brought  on  by  these  means,  and  the 
condition  of  the  horse  becomes  greatly  reduced.  It  is  requisite, 
therefore,  to  inquire  whether  any  of  these  errors  exist  and  to 
remove  them  immediately.  But  it  more  often  happens  that  the 
stomach  has  become  relaxed  and  the  hide  had  become  bound. 

Treatment. — Commence  b3^  feeding  well-cooked  bran  mashes, 
adding  a  Renovator  Powder  morning  and  night  in  feed.  After 
four  days  physic  mildly  with  a  pint  of  raw  linseed  oil,  and  repeat 
the  oil  physic  every  three  days  untilyou  havegiven  three  doses. 
Add  clean  oats  to  the  diet  and  continue  the  Renovator  Powders 
for  two  weeks.  It  is  only  necessary  to  add  that  in  considering 
a  horse's  condition  the  effect  is  apt  to  be  mistaken  for  the  cause, 
and  the  symptoms  for  the  disease.  A  hide-bound  condition  and 
lampas  are  not  in  themselves  anything  more  than  effects,  or 
symptoms.  The  former  being  commonly,  and  the  latter  always, 
dependent  on  a  deranged  state  of  the  stomach,  both  are  therefore 
to  be  treated  accordingly.  Exactly  the  same  will  apply  to  all 
the  other  symptoms  of  a  morbid  or  run-down  condition.

CARELESSNESS  CAUSES  THE  DEATH  OF  MANY  ANIMALS. 


FOR  PRIVATE  TREATMENT  OF  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS.  53 

Slobbering. — Give  a  few  ounce  doses  of  bi-carbonate  of  soda 
twice  a  day  and  feed  Renovator  Powders  for  a  week. 

Preparing-  Horses  or  Cattle  for  Market. — Two  doses  of 
Renovator  Powders  daily,  adding  two  ounces  of  pure  flaxseed 
meal  (not  hulls)  in  the  feed  each  day,  will  cause  any  animal 
to  improve  very  fast  and  put  on  a  very  fine  glossy  coat.  Good 
appearance  adds  much  value  to  sale  of  animals. 

Chronic  Indigestion,  Sour  Stomach.— The  teeth  are  mostly 
to  blame  for  this  trouble,  generall^^  being  in  such  bad  condition 
that  the  animal  will  not  try  to  masticate  his  food  properly, 
but  will  in  most  cases  bolt  it.  Have  the  teeth  attended  to 
at  once.  A  few  ounce  doses  of  bi-carbonate  of  soda  to  sweeten 
the  stomach  and  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  Powders  fed  for  ten 
days  will  correct  this  trouble. 

Wind  Sucking  or  Crib  Biting.— This  very  bad  habit,  to 
which  most  horses  will  become  addicted,  consists  chiefly  iti 
catching  hold  of  the  manger,  a  hitching-post,  or  almost  anything 
they  can  fasten  their  teeth  on,  sucking  and  grunting  until  they 
have  filled  themselves  almost  to  bursting  with  wind .  The  easiest 
way  to  discover  this  bad  habit  is  to  watch  the  horse  while  he  is

Dear  Sir:  I  have  used  on  several  occasions  your  Veterinary  Colic  Cure 
for  horses,  and  have  always  found  it  effectual;  at  two  times  in  particular, 
I  have  had  horses  that  suffered  so  severely  from  colic  that  it  seemed  as 
if  they  must  die,  but  a  continual  use  of  your  Remedy'  according  to  direc- 
tions brought  them  out  well.  I  keep  it  in  my  stable,  and  my  neighbors,  on 
several  occasions,  have  used  it,  always  with  the  best  results.  I  consider 
it  invaluable.  Yours  very  truly,

feeding,  when  he  will  grab  the  manger  after  every  two  or  three 
mouthfuls  of  food.  This  vice  produces  colic  and  other  distressing 
ailments.  Whenever  this  habit  is  fully  acquired  it  will  be  prac- 
ticed as  long  as  the  animal  lives.  Many  experiments  and  fruit- 
less attemps  have  been  made  to  remedy  it,  without  any  apparent 
success.  A  valuable  horse,  after  he  once  becomes  a  crib  biter, 
or  wind  sucker,  is  soon  reduced  in  value  to  almost  nothing. 
He  always  looks  jaded  and  delicate  and  is  incapable  of 
rendering  full  service  under  any  circumstances.  Renovator

remedy  that  will  effect  a  cure.

DR«  LESURE'S    ELECTRIC  HOOF  OINTMENT, 

Probably  more  than  half  of  the  lameness  in  horses  is  in  their 
forward  feet.  Keeping  horses  on  the  dry  floor  through  long 
spells  of  dry  weather  causes  the  feet  to  become  very  dry  and 
hard,  and  it  is  at  such  times  that  they  generally  burst  their 
quarters,  when  hard  and  brittle.  Many  troubles  arise  from  letting 
the  horse  go  too  long  between  shoeing ;  as  the  foot  grows  long 
it  is  thrown  out  of  balance,  and  much  lameness  is  caused  in  this 
way.   There  are  very  many  horses  that  are  lame  in  which  it  is

very  difficult  to  locate  the    trouble. 

People    (many  times    veterinarians), 

v^ill  examine  the  horse,  and  as  they 

cannot  find  the  trouble,  will  say  that 

it  is  in  the  shoulder,  which,  in  nearly 

every  case,  is  a  mistake,  as  a  horse  is 

very  rarely  lame  in  the  shoulder.    It 

is  easy  to  tell  a  shoulder  lameness,  as 

it  causes  the  horse  to  step  shorter  with 

the  lame  foot,  since  he  cannot  bring  a 

lame  shoulder  up  naturally;  so,  if  the 

horse  steps  as  far  with  the  lame  foot 

as  he  does  with  the  other,  you  may  be 

sure  that  he  is  not  lame  in  the  shoul- 
der.    There  are  some    horses  whose 

feet    will    stand    almost    any    abuse 

without  their  being  lame,  while  many  have  to  be  taken  care  of 

orthey  will  go  wrong;  but  with  proper  care  very  few  need  become 

lame.  The  trouble  and  expense  of  using  a  little  Hoof  Ointment 

is  small,  when  compared  with  the  trouble  and  expense  of  lame 

horses ;  so  it  is  advisable  to  use  the  preventative.  My  Hoof  Oint- 
ment is  composed  of  ingredients  that 
are  very  softening  and  healing,  and 
it  is  a  positive  cure  for  all  diseases  of 
the  feet.  But,  in  saying  this,  I  do  not 
mean  that  two  or  three  applications 
will  cure  much  disease;  but  I  mean 
that  any  man  using  this  Ointment  in 
a  thorough  and  business-like  way  will 
certainly  cure  all  troubles  with  horses' 
feet,  such  as  Shelliness  Contraction, 
Quarter  Cracks,  Corns,  Thrush,  etc. 
It  makes  the  hoof  grow  rapidly, 
draws  the  soreness  out,  and  in  so  do- 
ing cures.  It  will  make  thin  and  brit- 
tle hoofs  grow  tough  and  strong.  It 
cures  Quarter  Cracks  by  growing  the 
hoof  fast  and  keeping  it  soft,  thus 
preventing  it  from  cracking  more.   It 

is  a  sure  cure  for  Scratches,  and  a  first-class  ointment  for  any

kind  of  sores  or  chaps.  It  is  perfectly  pure  and  clean,  and  fit  to 
use  on  chapped  lips  or  hands.  In  using  it  on  horses'  feet,  clean 
out  around  the  frog  as  deep  as  possible  and  work  the  Ointment 
up  as  far  as  you  can  around  the  frog  and  in  the  middle  cleft  (a 
small  wooden  paddle  is  the  best  thing  to  work  it  in  with),  and 
rub  a  little  around  the  edge  of  hair,  rubbing  it  in  well. 

Directions   for   Use* 

For  Contracted  Feet,  or  to  Grow  a  New  P'oot.— Apply  Hoof 
Ointment  at  night  when  the  feet  are  dry  and  clean.  Rub  it  well 
into  the  coronet,  or  where  the  horn  leaves  the  hair,  for  from 
three  to  five  minutes  six  nights  in  succession.  Then  follow  right 
up  every  other  night  until  the  desired  results  are  obtained. 
Do  not  put  it  all  over  the  hoof. 

If  the  Frog  is  Hard. — Melt  the  Ointment  and  pour  it  into 
the  deep  cracks  around  the  frog  every  other  night  until 
desired  results  are  obtained. 

Thrush. — Take  small  wood  paddle  and  pry  down  and  clean 
out  side  of  the  frog  and  in  the  middle  cleft  as  far  as  possible. 
Then  melt  some  of  the  Ointment  (if  heated  quite  hot  it  is  all  the 
better)  and  pour  in  where  you  have  dug  out.  Hold  the  foot  up 
till  the  Ointment  sets.    A  few  applications  will  cure  any  case. 

Scratches.— First  wipe  dry  with  soft  cloth.  Apply  Ointment 
freely  twice  a  day. 

Dry,  Shelly  and  Brittle  Hoof.— Ruh  my  Hoof  Ointment  over 
the  foot  once  a  day. 

Dr.  Lesure's  Electric  Hoof  Ointment  will  grow  a  new  foot 
in  from  three  to  four  months.

had  a  cough  for  over  three  years,  and  have  given  your  Cough  Drops  a  trial. 
This  horse  is  now  cured.  We  also  had  three  cases  of  colic,  so  gave  your 
Colic  Medicine  a  trial.  Every  case  was  cured  in  three  quarters  of  an  hour 
from  first  dose.  Never  have  I  seen  medicine  do  as  this  Medicine  of  yours 
does.  Please  tell  your  agent  who  called  here  the  above.  He  said  if  I  would

Quarter  and  Toe  Cracks* 

These  come  from  various  causes,  such  as  standing  on  hard, 
dry  board  floors,  leaving  the  shoes  on  too  long,  driving  at  a 
high  rate  of  speed  down  hill,  not  paring  the  foot  properly  so  as 
to  give  the  proper  elasticity  to  the  bottom  of  the  foot,  contracting 
it,  getting  the  foot  out  of  balance  so  as  to  throw  too  much  weight 
on  any  particular  part  of  the  foot.  The  following  treatment 
should  be  observed  :  First,  level  the  foot  carefully  by  paring  the 
walls  of  the  foot  so  as  to  make  a  perfect  bearing  for  the  shoe, 
cut  out  the  sole  so  as  to  give  some  elasticity  to  the  bottom  of  the 
foot,  then  using  the  round  knife  cut  the  edge  of  the  crack  in  a 
V-shape  so  as  not  to  leave  any  place  for  sand  or  dirt  to  work  in 
and  keep  pressing  the  crack  open  from  the  coronet  down  to  the 
bottom  of  the  crack.  It  is  sometimes  necessary  to  shoe  with  a  bar 
shoe,  but  in  most  cases  an  open  plate  shoe  or  the  center-bearing 
shoe  No.  1  will  bring  the  desired  results.  Set  the  shoes  as  often 
as  once  in  three  or  four  weeks,  at  each  setting  keeping  the  shoe 
well  back  under  the  heels,  shortening  the  toe  as  much  as  possible. 
Then  take  a  piece  of  toe  steel  %-inch  by  i/^-inch  to  make  a  hot 
lance  by  drawing  a  sharp  edge  about  an  inch  across  the  point. 
Heat  almost  to  a  white  heat,  take  the  foot  on  the  knee  as  if  in  the 
act  of  clinching  the  shoe,  and  use  the  hot  lance  to  cut  across  the 
top  of  the  crack  just  at  the  edge  of  the  hair  in  the  coronet,  cut- 
ting through  so  as  to  start  the  blood.  Probably  you  will  have 
to  heat  the  lance  a  second  time  to  accomplish  the  result  needed. 
Then  dress  the  coronet  with  Dr.  Lesure's  Electric  Hoof  Ointment 
at  least  three  times  a  week,  rubbing  it  in  well,  and  packing  the 
bottom  with  oakum  or  any  good  hoof  packing  to  keep  the  bot- 
tom moist  and  soft.

This  disease  may  come  from  various  causes,  such  as  letting  a 
horse  stand  in  a  draught  when  warm,  and  watering  or  feeding 
when  too  warm;  and  it  will  show  itself  in  this  way.  The  horse 
will  be  very  nervous,  shifting  from  one  foot  to  the  other,  his 
feet  in  a  high  state  of  fever,  very  hot  and  sensitive  to  the  touch 
of  the  hammer  or  hoof  tester,  and  will  lie  down  in  great  pain. 

Treatment. — Remove  the  shoe  as  carefully  as  possible,  pare 
the  feet  well  down  with  the  hoof  parers  and  rasp  them.  Then  take 
the  round  knife  and  cut  the  hoof  at  the  toe  directly  opposite  the 
point  of  the  frog,  just  where  the  sole  joins  on  the  outside  wall, 
cutting  back  until  you  start  the  blood  well,  and  at  the  same  time 
rubbing  the  leg  down  towards  the  hoof,  making  the  blood  run 
freely  to  the  amount  of  a  quart;  then  fill  the  opening  with  Electric 
Hoof  Ointment,  put  on  a  leather  sole,  tack  on  an  old  plate  shoe 
with  about  four  nails,  put  the  foot  in  a  flaxseed  poultice,  keeping 
it  well  moistened  forforty-eighthours,  and  feed  mashes  to  loosen 
the  bowels. 

If  this  treatment  is  followed  closely  there  is  not  much  danger 
of  drop  sole  or  seedy  toe ;  but  if  the  case  becomes  chronic,  shoe 
with  a  bar  shoe,  taking  care  not  to  leave  the  shoe  on  too  long  so 
as  to  let  the  shoe  loose,  and  using  as  small  nails  as  the  work  will 
permit.  Rub  the  coronet  every  two  or  three  weeks  with  Dr. 
Lesure's  Veterinary  Blister,  and  follow  with  Electric  Hoof  Oint- 
ment to  toughen  and  make  the  hoof  grow  faster,  filling  the  bot- 
tom when  not  in  use  with  oakum  or  any  good  hoof  packing  to 
help  allay  any  inflammation  that  may  exist.

A  Corn  is  an  injury  to  the  living  horn  of  the  foot,  involving 
at  the  same  time  the  soft  tissue  beneath,  whereby  the  capillary 
blood  vessels  are  ruptured 
and  a  small  amount  of  the 
blood  escapes,  which,  by  per- 
meating the  Corn  in  the  im- 
mediate neighborhood,  stains 
it  a  dark  color.  If  the  injury 
is  continuously  repeated  the 
corn  becomes  altered  in  char- 
acter, the  soft  tissue  may  sup- 
purate, causing  the  disease  to 
spread,  or  a  horny  tumor  may 
develop.  Corns  always  ap- 
pear in  that  part  of  the  sole 
included  in  the  angle  between 
the  bar  and  the  outside  wall 
of  the  hoof.  In  many  cases 
the  laminae  of  the  bar  of  the 
wall  or  of  both,  are  involved 
at  the  same  time. 

Three  kinds  of  Corns  are  commonly  recognized,  the  dry,  the 
moist,  and  the  suppurative,  a  division  based  solely  on  the  charac- 
ter of  the  conditions  which  follow  the  primary  injury.  The  fore 
feet  are  almost  exclusively  the  subjects  of  the  disease,  for  two 
reasons :    First,  because  they  support  the  greater  part  of  the

Dear  Sir:  I  feel  it  my  duty  to  congratulate  you  in  your  success  in 
putting  the  excellent  line  of  Horse  Remedies  on  the  market  you  have.  I

hundred  horses,  and  of  course  have  had  a  chance  to  thoroughly  test  about 
everything  ever  heard  of,  and  for  the  past  fifteen  years  I  have  dropped  the 
old  remedies  and  used  only  yours ;  and  1  must  say  I  have  had  a  lot  of 
comfort  and  the  best  of  luck  with  them,  and  to  tell  you  the  truth  I  hardly 
fear  anything  that  happens  to  the  horse  in  the  way  of  sickness,  and  1  must 
recommend  your  Medicines  to  all  owners  and  lovers  of  horses.

body ;  second,  because  the  heel  of  the  fore  foot  during  progres- 
sion is  first  placed  on  the  ground,  whereby  it  receives  much  more 
concussion  than  the  heel  of  the  hind  foot,  in  which  the  toe  first 
strikes  the  ground. 

Causes.— It  may  be  said  that  all  feet  are  exposed  to  Corns  and 
that  even  the  best  feet  may  sufier  from  them  when  the  conditions 
necessary  to  the  production  of  the  peculiar  injury  are  present. 
The  heavier  breeds  of  horses,  generally  used  for  heavy  work  on 
rough  roads  and  streets,  seem  to  be  most  liable  to  this  trouble. 

Treatment  for  the  different  kinds  of  Corns  differs  with  me 
very  little.  In  the  first  place  I  always  try  to  find  out  what  causes 
the  trouble.  If  it  is  caused  by  the  heels  being  too  high,  I  lower 
them  by  properly  paring  at  the  heel;  if  the  toes  are  too  long  and 
high  I  pare  them  off  so  as  to  give  the  hoof  the  proper  angle  for 
the  kind  of  shaped  hoof  and  leg  that  it  may  be,  then  cut  out  the 
angle  between  the  bars  so  as  to  start  the  serum  slightly,  fill  the 
cavity  with  my  Electric  Hoof  Ointment  (applying  quite  hot  is 
best),  and  give  the  shoe  as  level  a  bearing  as  possible.  If  the 
heels  are  contracted  I  fit  the  shoe  slightly  convex,  so  that  it  will 
have  a  natural  tendency  to  press  the  heel  open,  not  driving  the 
nails  too  high  and  using  as  small  nails  as  the  weight  of  the  shoe 
will  permit.  Use  my  Electric  Hoof  Ointment  for  all  ailments 
of  the  horse's  feet  as  directed,  and  the  good  results  obtained  will 
so  please  you  that  you  will  always  use  it.

Interfering* 

An  animal  is  said  to  interfere  when  one  foot  strikes  the  oppo- 
site leg  as  it  passes  by  during  locomotion.  The  inner  surface  of 
the  fetlock  joint  is  the  part  most  subject  to  this  injury,  although 
under  certain  conditions  it  may  happen  to  any  part  of  the  ankle. 
It  is  seen  more  often  in  the  hind  legs  than  in  the  fore  legs.  In- 
terfering causes  a  bruise  of  the  skin  and  deeper  tissues,  generally 
accompanied  by  an  abrasion  of  the  surface.  It  may  cause  lame- 
ness, dangerous  tripping,  and  thickening  of  the  injured  parts. 

Causes. — Faulty  conformation  is  the  most  prolific  cause  of 
Interfering.  When  the  bones  of  the  leg  are  so  united  that  the 
toe  of  the  foot  turns  in  (pigeon  toed)  or  when  the  fetlock  joints 
are  too  close  together  and  the  toe  turns  out,  when  the  leg  is  so 
deformed  that  the  whole  foot  or  ankle  turns  in  or  out,  Interfering 
is  almost  sure  to  follow.  It  may  happen  also  when  the  feet  grow 
too  long,  and  from  defective  shoeing,  rough  or  slippery  roads, 
the  exhaustion  of  labor  or  sickness,  swelling  of  the  leg,  high 
knee  action,  fast  work,  and  because  the  chest  or  hips  are  too 
narrow. 

Treatment. — When  the  trouble  is  due  to  deformity  or  faulty 
conformation  it  may  not  be  possible  to  overcome  the  defect.  In 
such  cases,  and  as  well  in  those  due  to  exhaustion  or  fatigue, 
the  fetlock  or  ankle  boot  must  be  used.  In  many  instances 
Interfering  may  be  prevented  by  proper  shoeing.  Many  times 
the  blacksmith  makes  a  great  mistake  by  only  treating  the  hoof 
that  does  the  injury  to  the  opposite  ankle.    The  outside  heel  and

quarter  of  the  foot  on  the  injured  leg  should  be  lowered  suffi- 
ciently to  change  the  relative  position  of  the  fetlock  joint  by 
bringing  it  further  away  from  the  center  plane  of  the  foot,  to 
pass  without  striking. 

Shoeing  to  prevent  Interfering  is  an  easy  matter  if  one  under- 
stands the  anatomy  of  the  leg  of  the  horse  well  enough  to  tell 
when  he  is  out  of  balance;  and  that  is  the  primary  cause  of 
defects  of  like  character,  such  as  knee-knocking,  overreaching, 
foregoing,  clicking,  etc.  If  the  horse  ''toes  out"  pare  off  the 
inside  as  much  as  possible,  putting  on  a  shoe  with  a  long  out- 
side, so  as  to  bring  the  toe  in  a  straight  line  with  the  body.  If 
the  foot  cannot  be  brought  up  level  by  paring,  put  on  a  thick- 
sided  shoe,  so  as  to  make  the  foot  look  straight  when  standing 
down  on  the  floor. 

I  wish  here  to  call  the  attention  of  both  owner  and  shoer  to 
two  things  that  cause  horses  to  interfere  when  otherwise  they 
would  not;  and  these  are:  First,  improperly  adjusting  the  breech- 
ing, getting  it  too  low;  and  second,  I  have  known  horses  to 
interfere  because  of  the  teeth  being  bad,  causing  the  horse  to 
sideline  or  become  restless  when  driven,  throwing  him  out  of 
balance.

Overreaching* 

An  overreach  is  seen  where  the  shoe  of  the  hind  foot  strikes 
and  injures  the  heel  or  quarter  of  the  fore  foot.  It  rarely 
happens  except  when  the  animal  is  going  fast ;  hence  it  is  most 
common  in  trotting  and  running  horses.  In  trotters  the  accident 
generally  happens  when  the  animal  breaks  from  a  trot  to  a  run. 
The  outside  heels  and  quarters  are  most  liable  to  injury. 

Symptoms. — The  coronet  at  the  heel  or  quarter  is  bruised  or 
cut,  the  injury  in  some  instances  involving  the  horn  as  well. 
Where  the  hind  foot  strikes  well  back  on  the  heel  of  the  fore  foot, 
an  accident  known  among  horsemen  as  "grabbing"  may  occur, 
the  shoe  may  be  torn  from  the  foot  or  the  animal  may  fall  on  its 
knees.  Horses  accustomed  to  overreaching  are  often  bad 
"breakers,"  for  the  reason  that  the  pain  of  the  injury  so  excites 
them  that  they  cannot  be  readily  brought  back  to  a  trotting  gait. 

To  shoe  for  Overreaching,  pare  the  four  feet  down  as  much 
as  possible  at  the  toe,  giving  them  as  even  a  bearing  as  can  be 
secured,  then  put  on  shoes  to  correspond  with  the  w^ork  intended. 
If  the  shoes  are  to  have  calks,  shoe  the  front  feet  with  low  toes 
with  slightly  elevated  heel,  letting  the  shoe  fit  the  foot  properly,

Dear  Sir :  The  cow  I  had  written  you  about  yesterday,  soon  after  I 
had  written  you  second  note  and  enclosed  and  sent  it,  began  to  eat  and 
chew  her  cud.  I  never  saw  medicine  act  so  promptly  and  quick  as  did  your 
Renovator  Powders,  and  I  only  by  chance  got  hold  of  it  by  going  to  one  of 
the  local  stores  to  change  from  stock  food  to  something  else.  It  appeared 
high  in  price  alongside  of  other  powders,  but  I  knew  I  wanted  something 
that  had  some  medical  qualities  in  it  and  merit,  and  thank  you  for  bringing 
such  a  Medicine  into  our  midst;  and  if  I  get  results  like  that  has  shown 
me,  I  shall  use  nothing  but  your  medicines  in  my  stables,  because  I  believe

the  hind  shoes  with  the  toe  calk  slightly  higher  than  the  heels ; 
shoe  with  long  bearing  surface,  both  toe  and  heel,  cutting  down 
the  heel  of  the  hoof  slightly  more  than  the  toe.  Never  set  the 
toe  calks  back  on  the  hind  foot,  as  many  shoers  do,  thinking  to 
stop  the  striking.  Allow  me  to  impress  the  fact  right  here  that 
the  surest  way  to  prevent  Overreaching,  clicking,  etc., is  to  shoe 
so  as  to  hasten  the  action  of  the  fore  feet  by  cutting  away  and 
lowering  the  toe  and  elevating  the  heel,  thus  promoting  a  quicker 
action  in  front,  and  following  this  up  by  shoeing  the  hind  feet 
with  a  full  toe  well  out  to  front  of  hoof,  and  long-bearing  shoe 
with  slightly  lowered  heels,  thus  causing  slower  action  in  getting 
over,  and  giving  the  fore  leg  plenty  of  time  in  getting  away, 
making  interfering  almost  impossible. 

Side  weighting  on  the  hind  feet,  letting  the  outside  heel  be 
longer  than  the  inside,  helps  to  spread  the  legs  when  in  motion, 
throwing  the  hind  feet  outside  the  front  ones.  This  mode  of 
shoeing  applies  to  road  and  general  purpose  horses.  But  the  first 
method  is  surely  the  better  way  in  all  bad  cases,  where  Over- 
reaching or  pounding  the  bottom  of  the  front  shoe  with  the 
hind  foot  has  become  a  fixed  habit.

DR-  LESURPS  WORM  ANNIHILATOR. 


It  is  one  of  the  principles  of  nature  that  one  animal  should 
live  within  and  feed  upon  another.  And  hence  every  animal 
and  nearly  every  organ,  has  its  peculiar  inhabitant  or  parasite. 
But  in  small  numbers  these  give  no  trouble,  and  in  perfect  health 
they  never  get  in  excess.  But  in  an  unhealthy  condition  they 
will  multiply,  and  there  is  nothing  so  irritating  and  aggravating 
to  the  system  of  a  horse  as  an  excess  of  worms.  They  destroy 
the  life-giving  properties  of  the  food  and  irritate  the  stomach 
and  bowels,  causing  indigestion,  fits,  colic  and  nearly  all  other

troubles  that  horses  are  heir  to;  and  no  man  can  afford  to  keep 
a  wormy  horse.    They  cause 

a  horse  to  show  a  very  un-  .-.-^^ 

thrifty  look.  With  a  ravenous 
appetite,  feed  seems  to  do  no 
good,  causing  the  owner  to 
wonder  why  his  horse  looks 
so  poorly,  when  he  feeds  it 
well  and  uses  it  lightly.  To 
all  such  I  would  say,  **  Tr}^ 
Dr.  Lesure's  Worm  Annihila- 
tor."  There  are  two  kinds  of 
worms  that  do  the  mischief: 
the  large,   round  worm  that 

inhabits  the  stomach  and  intestines,  and  the  pinworm  that  in- 
habits the  colon  and  rectum.  In  treating  be  sure  and  follow 
directions,  as  what  is  worth  doing  at  all  is  worth  doing  well, 
and  only  those  fail  to  accomplish  desired  results  that  neglect 
to  follow  directions. 

In  Treating  for  Worms,  a  good  time  to  commence  is  at  night, 
when  the  horse  has  done  a  day's  work, as  at  that  timethe  stomach 
and  bowels  are  well  emptied,  and  the  medicines  will  have  more 
direct  action  on  the  worms.  Give  one  powder  in  a  small  bran 
mash,  as  directed  on  box,  and  do  not  feed  hay  or  grain  for  an 
hour  or  two.  After  feeding  the  Worm  Annihilator  for  six  days, 
omit  and  give  a  tablespoonful  of  brown  sugar  in  the  regular 
feed  for  the  same  period.  This  treatment  is  sure  to  destroy 
stomach  worms,  and  will  many  times  destroy  pinworms,but  is 
not  always  sure.  Where  it  fails,  proceed  with  injections,  as 
directed  on  box.  A  force-pump  is  the  best  thing  to  give  an  in- 
jection with;  by  entering  the  tube  and  starting  the  pump  slowly 
the  tube  may  be  inserted  from  twelve  to  eighteen  inches,  thus 
getting  at  the  seat  of  the  trouble.  In  inserting,  work  slowly  and 
carefully.  The  Annihilator  used  in  this  way  I  have  never  known 
to  fail.  It  is  perfectly  safe  to  give  to  mares  in  foal.  This  powder 
is  a  very  fine  tonic,  and  a  great  thing  to  tone  and  build  up  the 
system  after  the  worms  have  been  expelled ;  and  no  man  can 
make  any  mistake  in  feeding  it  if  he  thinks  his  horse  may  be 
wormy,  as  it  will  more  than  pay  by  generally  toning  up  the 
system. 


IT  IS  USUALLY  YOUR  FAULT  THAT  HE  IS.

DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 


DR*  LESURE'S  SPECIAL  LINIMENT  FOR  NERVE, 
MUSCLE,  BONE  AND  SINEW 


SPECIAU 


Is  a  powerful  penetratorand  a  strong 
stimulator  for  Cockled  Joints,  Sprung 
Knees,  Knotted  Cords,  Curbs,  Splints, 
Shoe  Boils  when  first  started;  Wind 
Puffs,  Big  Tendons,  etc.  It  is  the  finest 
liniment  in  the  world  for  Rheumatism, 
Neuralgia,  Sciatica,  Sprains,  Weak 
Joints,  and  all  affections  of  the  nerves, 
bones  or  spinal  column  in  man  or  beast. 
It  is  fine  for  sore  throat,  congested 
lungs,  or  any  part  where  you  want  to 
produce  external  irritation.  It  will 
blister  if  thoroughly  rubbed  in,  will  re- 
move Calluses,  Thickenings,  and  all  en- 
largements that  will  yield  to  a  mild 
blister,  and  will  work  w^ell  on  Spavins 
or  Ringbones. 

Directions.  —  For  Cockled  Joints, 
Sprung  Knees,  and  Knotted  Cords, 
bathe  and  gently  rub  in  enough  to  pro- 
duce something  of  an  irritation, but  not 
so  much  as  to  form  much  scab.  Some 
horses  blister  so  much  more  easily  than 

others  that  it  is  impos- 
sible  to    give    directions 

that  will  fit  in  all  cases. 

The  man  using  it  must 

exercise    some  judgment 

in    order   to    be  success- 
ful.     After    one    or    tw^o 

applications  you  can  see 

the  eifect;  if  it  irritates 

too  much,  rub  less,  and 

if    not     enough,     rub 

more.     This  wall  cure  if 

begun    in    season    and 

well  attended  to. 


ALWAYS  FOLLOW  DIRECTIONS  CAREFULLY. 


FOR  PRIVATE  TREATMENT  OF  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS. 


71 


Calluses  or  Thickenings. — Rub  in  thoroughly  twice  a  day  until 
a  scab  forms,  then  let  alone  until  the  scab  comes  off;  then  repeat 
as  before.  A  scab  will  form  more  easily  the  second  time,  as  the 
skin  will  be  more  tender.  With  judgment  and  persistent  use 
this  will  remove  without  a  scar. 

Sprains  or  Weak  Joints.  —  Bathe  without  much  rubbing. 

Sore  Throat,  Congested  Lungs. — This  is  fine  for  these  troubles. 
When  you  want  to  produce  an  external  irritation  for  sore  throat, 
bathe  and  rub  gently.  For  Congested  Lungs,  bathe  the  chest 
and  over  the  lungs  and  rub  in  gently,  and  if  the  case  is  severe 
rub  enough  to  blister  mildly. 

How  to  Take  Off  Wind  Puffs  and  Reduce  Big  Tendons  with 
Dr.  Lesure^s  Special  Liniment. — First  paint  Puff  with  Liniment, 
using  a  tooth  brush,  once  a  day  for  four  days ;  then  omit  treat- 
ment two  or  three  days.  Then  put  on  as  before  for  two  or  three 
days  more.  When  you  see  that  the  Liniment  is  blistering,  which 
will  be  indicated  by  scabs  forming,  omit  treatment  until  the  scabs 
come  off,  and  then  treat  again  as  before,  using  less  of  the  Lini- 
ment each  time,  as  the  skin  will  become  more  tender.  Continue 
until  leg  is  smooth.  For  Big  Tendons,  treat  the  same  as  for 
Puffs. 

Family  Liniment.  —  This 
Liniment  is  equally  success- 
ful in  the  family,  especially 
for  Rheumatism,  Neuralgia, 
Sciatica,  and  all  deep-seated 
pains  and  lameness.  Much 
pain  and  torture  may  be 
avoided  by  its  timely  use. 
Rub  the  Liniment  in  thor- 
oughly twice  or  more  a  day 
and  heat  the  affected  parts  in 
any  way  convenient. 

For  Sore  Throat  or  Con- 
gested Lungs,  bathe  well  and 
cover  with  thick  flannel. 

For  Sprains  and  Weak  Joints,  it  will  be  found  very  successful. 


KEEP  YOUR  ANIMALS  IN  GOOD  CONDITION. 


72  DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 

HOW  TO  DETERMINE  HORSE  AILMENTS. 

First  try  to  discover  the  cause  by  carefully  observing  all  symp- 
toms. When  the  trouble  is  once  located,  act  promptly  and  con- 
tinue faithfully  at  your  task  until  the  desired  results  are  obtained . 
Remember  that  the  man  who  has  the  habit  of  saying  "  I  can't" 
at  the  least  sign  of  approaching  trouble  generally  has  large 
doctor  bills  to  pay  that  he  could  easily  avoid  if  he  would  try. 

When  your  horse  looks  anxious,  wavers,  wants  to  lie  down, 
suddenly  gets  up  quickly,  paws,  and  looks  around  at  flanks,  it 
is  a  good  sign  of  colic.  In  Flatulent  Colic  the  symptoms  are  the 
same  with  belching,  caused  by  forming  gas,  and  distended 
bowels,  showing  a  bloated  condition.  Treat  same  as  for  Spas- 
modic Colic  and  give  injections  at  once. 

When  the  pulse  is  quick,  and  the  animal  lies  down  easily,  paws 
constantly  when  standing,  and  looks  distressed,  with  mouth  hot 
and  thirsty,  look  out  for  Inflammation  of  the  Bowels  (Enteritis) . 

When  your  horse  has  been  exposed  to  cold  and  rainy  weather, 
look  for  chills  and  fever;  hunt  up  your  Fever  Drops  at  once  and 
save  further  troubles. 

When  your  horse  becomes  thin  in  flesh,  hair  stands  up,  coat 
looks  rough,  and  belly  extended,  rubs  his  tail,  and  is  hide-bound, 
with  a  general  run-down  condition,  it  is  a  sure  sign  of  worms. 
Feed  him  Dr.  Lesure's  Worm  Annihilator,  adding  a  handful  of 
brown  sugar  to  each  feed,  and  you  will  get  every  worm  from  him. 

When  your  horse  throws  his  fore  feet  forward  when  resting, 
with  the  body  on  haunches,  look  out  for  Founder,  which  causes 
fever  in  front  feet.    Treat  promptl3^     (See  Founder.) 

Blind  horses  raise  the  fore  legs  high  w^hen  stepping,  and 
Blindness  is  easily  detected  thus.

When  the  fore  feet  are  set  wide  apart,  with  head  hanging  low, 
and  the  animal  refuses  to  eat,  with  nostrils  expanded ,  and  breath- 
ing quick  and  panting-like,  it  is  a  very  good  sign  of  Congestion 
of  the  Lungs. 

When  a  horse  is  taken  suddenly  lame  without  any  apparent 
cause,  shifting  from  one  part  to  another,  with  joints  sometimes 
swelling,  it  is  well  to  suspect  Rheumatism.  Give  Fever  Drops 
every  hour  for  six  hours,  adding  three  one-ounce  doses  of  bi-car- 
bonate  of  soda  four  hours  apart. 

When  your  horse's  legs  swell,  if  not  caused  by  Scratches  or 
Grease  Heel,  it  shows  that  the  kidneys  are  not  performing  their 
function  properly.  Give  at  once  Dr.  Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic 
Drops  several  times  a  day  and  feed  Renovator  Powders. 

Falling  hair  in  spots  denotes  Mange,  Itch,  etc.  Take  one 
pound  flowers  of  sulphur  and  three  ounces  Karbo  Cream,  adding 
one  quart  of  soft  water.  Boil  all  together  for  two  hours,  and 
when  cool  drain  off  the  liquid  and  apply  three  times  a  day.  A 
sure  cure  for  all  skin  diseases. 

If  your  horse  coughs,  starts  to  run  at  the  nose,  and  has  sore 
throat,  expect  Distemper,  Catarrhal  affections,  etc.  Give  at  once 
Dr.  Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops;  nothing  better.  Reno- 
vator Powders  will  keep  up  strength  until  well. 

When  your  horse's  feet  become  hard  and  brittle  and  it  goes 
sore  in  front,  use  Dr.  Lesure's  Blister  around  the  coronary  band, 
just  where  the  horn  leaves  the  hair.  Follow  with  Dr.  Lesure's 
Electric  Hoof  Ointment.    Result:   rapid  growth,  sound  hoof. 

In  real  Shoulder  Sprains,  which  are  rare,  the  toe  is  dragged 
along  the  ground  while  in  motion ;  at  rest  it  is  planted  forward, 
but  resting  on  point  of  toe.  When  the  lameness  is  in  the  foot, 
the  horse  points  his  foot  forward  also;  but  he  does  so  with  his 
whole  limb  unbent  and  the  foot  flat.

Dear  Sir :  After  using  many  kinds  of  horse  remedies  I  find  there  is  none 
to  compare  with  Dr.  Lesure's.  Colic  has  no  terrors  for  me  when  I  have 
your  Colic  Cure  and  Fever  Drops  around  and  the  Special  Liniment  is 
absolutely  the  greatest  counterirritant  for  sore  throat,  sprains,  shoe  boils, 
or  spavin  I  ever  used.    We  call  it  the  "Get  there  Liniment."

DR.  LESURE'S  LINIMENT- 

(Turf  Wash.) 

This  Liniment  will  mix  with  water  and  makes  the  finest  wash 
that  a  turfman  ever  used.  When  diluted,  it  is  perfectly  safe  to 
bandage  over  and  fills  a  want  that  turfmen  have  long  felt.  It  is 
a  preparation  that  can  be  used  all  around,  from  a  strong  lini- 
ment down  to  a  wash.  This  can  be  made  any  desired  strength 
to  produce  the  result  required,  and  a  fair  trial  will  convince  the 
most  skeptical  that  it  is  the  finest  turf  wash  ever  produced. 

A  50-cent  bottle  makes  a  gallon  of  Wash.  Put  a  bottle  of 
Liniment  into  a  gallon  bottle  and  fill  with  water,  and  you  will 
have  a  gallon  of  the  finest  wash  you  ever  saw.  It  can  be  used 
freely  on  any  part  of  the  horse  with  perfect  safety,  can  be  band- 
aged over,  and  will  be  found  much  superior  to  rum,  hamamelis, 
or  anything  that  has  been  produced.  It  is  also  cheaper  than  any- 
thing else,  and  has  only  to  be  tried  to  be  appreciated.  In  gal- 
lon cans,  $4.00  per  gallon.

DR*  LESURE^S  TOTAL  ECLIPSE  SPAVIN  CURE. 

People  generally  have  become  so  disgusted  in  trying  to  cure 
Spavins  that  they  will  often  say  that  you  are  an  imposter  if  you 
tell  them  that  you  can  cure  one.  But  there  are  many  that  have 
been  cured,  and  many  more  that  will  be  cured.  But  in  order  to 
cure  them  it  is  necessary  to  commence  very  early  and  give  the 
horse  perfect  rest  and  thorough  treatment.  Wherever  I  have 
followed  this  rule  I  have  never  failed,  and  I  have  known  many 
others  to  cure.  But  the  average  man  will  not  do  this,  and  so 
says  that  a  cure  cannot  be  effected  ;  if  he  is  bound  to  think  so, 
I  let  him  and  cater  to  those  who  believe  it  can  be  accomplished. 
This  Spavin  Cure  is  a  liniment  that  I  made 
and  used  many  years  in  my  practice  before  I 
ever  made  it  for  sale.  I  always  used  it  as  an 
all-around  liniment  and  never  had  it  fail  of 
doing  what  I  wanted  it  to  do.  If  I  had  a  horse 
get  cut  or  galled  I  put  this  on  and  it  cured 
him  right  off;  and  if  he  got  sprained  or  lamed 
in  any  way,  I  put  it  on  and  he  stopped  limping. 
If  he  got  spavined,  I  attended  to  him  and 
cured  him.  If  he  had  an  old  spavin,  I  rubbed 
it  on  and  kept  the  soreness  out,  and  he  trav- 
eled much  better  for  it;  and  I  find  that  my 
experience  has  been  everybody's  that  has 
used  it  thoroughly. 

Spavins  must  be  taken  on  their  first  appear- 
ance.    Give  the  horse  perfect  rest  and  rub 
the  Spavin  Cure  in  thoroughly,  rubbing  it 
five  to  ten  minutes  three  times  a  day.    Four  to  six  weeks  will 
cure,  and  the  same  treatment  will  greatly  relieve  a  Spavin  at

any  stage.  Splints  and  Curbs  should  be  treated  the  same  as 
Spavins,  only  the  horse  may  be  worked  carefully. 

Bone  Spavin.  — See  treatment  under  head  of  Veterinary 
Blister.  As  the  Blister  and  Spavin  Cure  should  oftentimes  be 
associated  in  treating  many  ailments,  it  would  be  well  to  look 
them  both  up  carefully,  so  as  to  be  well  informed  as  to  where 
their  combined  use  is  essential. 

Occult  Spavins  are  situated  in  the  joint,  and  being  invisible 
are  very  difficult  to  locate  and  correspondingly  hard  to  remedy. 
The  treatment  is  the  same  as  directed  for  Bone  Spavin. 

Capped  Hock.— This  is  an  injury  on  the  point  of  the  hock, 
which  gives  the  knee  a  very  clumsy  appearance.  It  is  often 
caused,  while  horses  are  being  shipped,  by  striking  the  hock 
against  the  side  of  the  car.  At  first  it  shows  only  a  bruised  con- 
dition but  soon  becomes  hard  and  calloused;  therefore  treatment 
should  be  prompt.  If  the  part  seems  inflamed,  apply  the  Spavin 
Cure  three  times  a  day  until  the  inflammation  has  subsided. 
Follow  with  a  few  applications  of  the  Special  Liniment,  to  absorb 
the  thickened  cartilage,  and  repeat  with  the  Spavin  Cure  until 
a  complete  cure  is  reached. 

Swellings.-App\y  cold  water  and  hot  fomentations  alternately 
until  the  inflammation  is  somewhat  reduced.  Then  apply  the 
Spavin  Cure  freely,  covering  the  affected  part  with  a  bandage 
that  has  been  dipped  in  hot  water.  There  is  no  other  remedy 
compounded  that  will  compare  with  the  Total  Eclipse  Spavin 
Cure  for  reducing  swelling  or  bruises,  if  the  plain  directions  are 
followed  carefully.

Wind  Galls  are  those  soft  spongy  swellings  that  make  their 
appearance  on  both  sides  of  the  legsjust  above  the  fetlock  joint. 
It  is  seldom  that  a  horse  is  found  entirely  clear  of  them,  par- 
ticularly on  the  hind  legs.  They  are  produced  by  hard  usage, 
strains,  bruises,  etc.,  of  the  back  sinews,  or  sheathes  that  cover 
thern,  which,  by  being  overstretched,  have  some  of  their  fibers 
ruptured ;  from  these  ooze  the  fluid  found  in  the  sacs  with  the 
enclosed  air. 

Treatment. — When  Wind  Galls  make  their  first  appearance 
they  are  easily  cured  by  applying  the  Total  Eclipse  Spavin  Cure 
as  hot  as  the  horse  can  stand  it.  Saturate  pads  of  cotton  with 
the  Cure,  apply  them  to  the  parts,  and  cover  with  wet  bandages 
as  tight  as  possible  without  giving  pain  to  the  horse.  Repeat 
this  operation  two  or  three  times  a  day.  Should  this  method 
not  succeed  after  a  thorough  trial,  apply  my  Special  Liniment 
three  times  a  day  until  a  light  blister  is  produced,  then  remove 
all  scurf  or  scale  with  soap  and  water  and  repeat  treatment 
with  the  Spavin  Cure  as  at  first  directed. 

Wind  Galls  give  a  horse  a  gouty  and  clumsy  appearance.  They 
also  cause  him  to  depreciate  in  value  as  a  sale  animal.  I 
have  never  known  them  to  produce  lameness  or  other  injury 
except  that  of  stiffening  the  legs  as  the  animal  advances  in  3^ears. 
They  also  furnish  strong  proof  that  the  animal  has  rendered 
much  service. 

Broken  Knee. — This  is  one  of  the  most  common,  as  well  as  the 
most  dangerous  wounds,  the  horse  is  subject  to.  Where  the 
horse  stumbles  and  falls,  causing  a  laceration  of  one  or  both 
knees,  sometimes  to  such  an  extent  as  to  release  some  of  the  joint 
oil,  great  care  must  be  exercised .    First,  see  that  all  dirt,  sand ,  or

gravel  is  removed  from  the  v^round ;  then  put  the  leg  in  splints, 
well  padded  so  as  not  to  injure  the  leg,  and  apply  at  once  the 
Spavin  Cure  to  the  wound  several  times  a  day.  Should  the 
wound  become  a  little  too  hard  or  dry,  poultice  with  linseed  to 
moisten  it.  Keep  the  splints  on  until  the  sore  has  knit  firmly, 
or  the  horse  is  apt  to  break  it  open  by  bending  the  leg. 

To  Stop  Bleeding. — There  is  no  other  preparation  on  earth 
that  will  equal  the  Spavin  Cure  in  stopping  the  flow  of  blood 
from  a  wound.  Saturate  a  lump  of  cotton  or  clean  waste  and 
bind  it  on  the  wound,  keeping  it  wet  with  the  Cure  for  a  few 
minutes,  and  the  result  will  astonish  you. 

SoU  Bunches  are  readily  removed  by  a  few  applications  of 
the  Special  Liniment,  followed  by  the  Spavin  Cure. 

Special  Notice. — This  preparation  is  a  revolution  in  everything 
heretofore  attempted  as  a  Spavin  Cure.  Almost  all,  in  fact  I 
might  say  all,  so-called  Spavin  Cures  are  simply  strong  counter- 
irritants  or  caustics,  which  may  be  right  as  a  preparatory  treat- 
ment, yet  no  complete  cure  can  be  hoped  for  from  their  use  alone. 
The  Total  Eclipse  Spavin  Cure  is  not  a  counter-irritant,  but  a 
powerful  astringent ;  its  action  is  soothing,  strengthening,  and 
healing  from  the  moment  of  application.  Wholly  unlike  in  every 
particular  from  all  other  Liniments,  which  are  more  or  less 
relaxative  in  their  nature.  Mr.  Horseman,  I  ask  you  in  all 
candor,  which  do  you  want  for  a  sprain,  a  relaxative  or  an 
astringent?    All  Spavins  are  sprains. 

Tonics.  —  Always  feed  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  Powders  or 
give  the  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops  night  and  morning  to  strengthen 
and  keep  the  system  in  good  condition,  w^hen  treating  for  Spavin 
or  any  other  lameness.

In  the  Family.— Vor  Burns,  Scalds,  Piles,  Chafing,  Ingrowing 
Nails,  and  Salt  Rheum.  It  is  a  very  powerful  astringent  and

non-poisonous,  will  not  blister,  and  is  perfectly  safe  to  bandage 
over;  stops  bleeding  instantly,  and  will  heal  any  ordinary  wound 
without  soreness  or  festering. 

Directions  for  Family  Use* 

Burns  and  Scalds. —  Bathe  the  parts  freely  three  or  more 
times  a  day. 

Cha£ng.  —  Clean  parts  and  apply  freely  twice  daily.

DR,  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  BLISTER. 

This  preparation  is  one  of  the  most  reliable  blisters  ever  com- 
pounded. It  has  been  used  with  great  success  in  removing 
Curbs,  Splints,  Spavins,  hard,  calloused  Bunches,  and  Ring  Bones 
or  wherever  a  strong  counter-irritant  and  absorbant  is  required. 
It  removes  the  blemish  by  absorption,  and  does  it  without  mak- 
ing a  bad  sore.  The  Blister  should  be  used  in  all  cases  that  do 
not  yield  to  the  use  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Special  Liniment. 

Care  should  be  exercised  w^hen  blistering  to  guard  against  any 
cold  in  the  wound.  Keep  the  animal  free  from  cold  draughts. 
He  should  always  be  tied  so  that  he  cannot  bring  his  mouth  in 
contact  with  the  BHster.  Sometimes  it  is  necessary  to  tie  his 
tail  to  prevent  bringing  the  hind  parts  around.  Always  shave 
the  hair  close  before  applying  the  Blister,  and  remove  all  scurf 
and  dirt  wdth  soap  and  water.  After  the  spot  has  become  dry 
apply  the  Blister  rubbing  it  in  thoroughly  from  ten  to  fifteen 
minutes,  and  grease  around  the  blistered  part  to  prevent  it  from 
spreading.  Where  the  scabs  seem  slow  in  falling  off  or  show 
a  hard,  cracked  condition,  grease  with  vaseline,  when  they  will 
soon  disappear.  One  Blister  thoroughly  applied  and  watched 
closely  will  accomplish  more  good  than  to  keep  smearing  it  on 
for  several  days  in  a  hap-hazard  manner.  When  a  Blister  shows 
too  much  irritation,  or  causes  too  much  pain  or  inflammation, 
wash  the  parts  with  Castile  soap,  and  warm  water;  then  apply 
Dr.  Lesure's  Total  Eclipse  Spavin  Cure.    This  preparation  beats

the  world  for  reducing  inflamed  parts  and  removing  soreness 
from  Spavins,  and  should  be  used  at  all  times  after  the  Blister 
has  done  its  part  to  complete  the  cure.  Only  one  spot  on  an 
animal  should  be  blistered  at  a  time  and  a  Blister  should  never 
be  used  v^here  the  parts  show  an  inflamed  condition. 

The  blistering  can  be  repeated  several  times  if  necessary,  until 
the  desired  result  is  obtained.  Let  the  part  get  well  in  all  cases 
before  applying  the  Blister  the  second  time  or  using  as  much,  for 
the  spot  will  be  more  tender  than  at  first  treatment.  This  prepa- 
ration is  not  caustic  and  will  not  burn  or  destroy  the  hair  roots; 
neither  will  it  scar  or  bring  out  white  hair,  if  the  horse  is  kept 
from  biting  or  tearing  the  skin  with  his  teeth. 

Curb  is  an  enlargement  of  the  hock  joint  a  short  distance 
below  the  cap. 

Treatment. — Should  there  be  some  inflammation,  apply  the

becomes  normal ;  then  apply  the  Blister.  After  a  week,  repeat 
with  the  Spavin  Cure  to  heal  and  toughen  the  hock.  This  treat- 
ment can  be  repeated  until  the  enlargement  is  removed.  Always 
give  two  doses  of  the  Renovator  Powders  a  day,  to  keep  the 
blood  in  proper  condition,  when  treating  Curbs  or  Spavins  of 
any  kind.

Spavins  are  morbid  enlargements  situated  on  or  near  the  knee 
or  hock  joints  of  the  hind  legs.  They  are  designated  as  Bone 
Spavin,  Bog  Spavin,  Blood  Spavin,  and  Thoroughpin.  Spavins 
that  have  become  ossified,  or  have  been  left  run  into  chronic 
stages,  are  considered  by  the  veterinary  profession  as  incurable. 
Therefore  the  treatment  should  be  prompt  and  heroic  as  soon 
as  they  are  first  discovered. 

Bone  Spavin  is  a  growth  of  the  bone  on  the  inside,  and  in 
front,  of  the  hock  joint,  and  will  often  produce  extreme  lame- 
ness before  the  exostosis  is  perceptible. 

Treatment. — Clip  or  shave  the  hair  close  over  the  bony  growth 
and  apply  the  Blister,  rubbing  it  in  briskly  for  at  least  twenty 
minutes.  After  the  blistering  has  gone  far  enough,  apply  vaseline 
or  oil  night  and  morning  until  the  irritation  subsides.  Then 
wash  with  Castile  soap  and  warm  water,  and  apply  the  Total 
Eclipse  Spavin  Cure  three  times  a  day  for  a  week  or  ten  days. 
After  the  parts  have  healed,  the  Spavin  Cure  should  be  applied 
with  plenty  of  friction.  Remember  that  the  blistering  operation 
is  only  preparatory  treatment,  after  which  the  Spavin  Cure  will 
effect  a  satisfactory  cure.  When  treating  for  Spavin,  the  horse 
must  be  given  absolute  rest.  Shoe  with  high-heeled  shoe  with- 
out toe  calks.

Bog  Spavin  is  a  puffy,  soft  swelling  situated  slightly  more  to 
the  front  of  the  joint  than  the  Bone  Spavin,  and  is  sometimes 
termed  Wind  Galls  of  the  hock.  It  very  seldom  causes  any 
lameness. 

Blood  Spavin  resembles  the  Bog  Spavin  in  appearance,  but 
often  covers  both  sides  and  front  of  the  joint. 

A  Thoroughpin  is  only  an  extension  of  Blood  Spavin,  passing 
clear  through  the  joint  in  front  of  the  cap. 

Treatment — For  Thoroughpin,BogSpavin,and  Blood  Spavin, 
apply  my  Special  Liniment  until  a  slight  scruff  is  produced  under 
the  hair;  then  apply  hot  fomentations  until  all  scales  are  re- 
moved, and  follov^  with  the  Total  Eclipse  Spavin  Cure,  covered 
with  hot  bandage. 

Contracted  Hoof. — Clip  the  hair  just  above  the  horn  and  apply 
the  Blister  lightly  clear  around  the  coronet.  After  a  week,  wash 
the  part  clean  and  follow  with  Electric  Hoof  Ointment,  as  di- 
rected for  growing  hoofs.    The  result  will  be  highly  beneficial. 

Splint  is  an  exostosis  of  the  bone  on  the  inside  of  the  fore  leg, 
between  the  knee  and  fetlock  joint.  It  very  rarely  causes  any 
lameness,  unless  situated  close  to  the  knee-joint.  The  treatment 
is  the  same  as  directed  for  Spavin. 

Important. — When  looking  up  treatment  for  Spavin  and  cal- 
loused Bunches  or  Enlargements,  read  treatment  offered  under 
both  the  Veterinary  BHster  and  the  Total  Eclipse  Spavin  Cure ; 
as  in  a  great  variety  of  cases  these  two  preparations,  when  used 
together  as  directed,  furnish  the  very  best  treatment  that  com- 
mon sense  and  medical  science  can  teach.

HOW  TO  TREAT  NAIL  WOUNDS* 

When  a  horse  steps  on  a  nail  or  other  substance  that  punctures 
the  sole  of  the  foot  to  a  sufficient  depth  to  cause  the  blood  to  flow, 
there  is  only  one  safe  course  to  pursue :  and  that  is,  to  make  a 
good,  free  opening  for  the  escape  of  all  blood.  This  means  to 
cut  with  a  sharp  knife  a  circular  hole  fully  as  large  as  a  ten-cent 
piece,  around  the  hole  made  by  the  nail.  When  neglected,  the 
nature  of  the  sole  is  such  that  it  will  close  and  shut  in  blood  that 
should  find  egress  from  the  wound,  as  well  as  germs,  which  may 
have  been  on  the  nail,  piece  of  bone,  or  whatever  was  stepped 
upon.  When  the  blood  remains  in  the  wound,  putrefaction  soon 
follows,  and  purulent  matter  burrows  under  the  frog  or  sole,  the 
connecting  tissues  are  destroyed,  and  the  animal  sufiers  excru- 
ciating pain;  and  not  unfrequently  lock-jaw  (Tetanus)  follows. 
As  a  rule  most  horse  owners  are  afraid  to  cut  away  any  sole  of 
the  foot,  fearing  that  they  will  expose  sensitive  parts  and  it  will 
be  weeks  before  new  horn  will  grow  ;  consequently,  when  they 
cut  away  horn,  they  rarely  half  do  the  work.  They  cut  away  a 
hole  large  enough  on  the  surface  but  don't  extend  it  to  the  depth 
necessary  to  allow  the  pent-up  blood  to  escape.  The  fear  of  over- 
cutting  prevents  their  cutting  sufficiently,  and  their  fear  that 
the  hole  will  not  soon  fill  with  healthy  horn  is  groundless. 

In  not  one  case  in  ten,  where  a  proper  opening  has  been  made

The  bearer,  Mr.  Chas.  R.  Weber,  representing  the  Dr.  Lesure's  Veterinary 
Remedies,  wishes  to  introduce  them  in  this  community. 

Some  time  ago  I  purchased  a  small  trial  order  of  said  Remedies,  which 
proved  to  be  very  satisfactory ;  especially  the  Gall  Cure  I  recommend  to  be 
the  best  cure  for  sore  shoulders,  backs,  and  necks  that  I  ever  used.

soon  after  the  injury,  will  there  ever  be  suppuration,  the  wound 
simply  drying  up  and  healing  by  first  intention,  as  surgeons  say. 
The  fact  that  the  wound  in  your  animal's  foot  does  not  discharge 
shows  clearly  to  me  that  you  did  not  properly  cut  away  the  sole, 
for  if  the  nail  penetrated  only  half  an  inch,  no  serious  injury 
could  have  been  made  to  the  sensitive  sole  or  frog.  Blood 
remained  which  should  have  been  abstracted. 

After  the  cutting  is  made  put  my  All-Healing  Balm  into  the 

opening  twice  daily,  holding 
the  foot  up  until  the  sore  has 
absorbed  all  it  will.  Continue 
this  treatment  until  the  sore- 
ness is  entirely  removed  and 
the  horse  will  not  get  lame. 
Then  pack  the  foot  with  my 
Electric  Hoof  Ointment,  put- 
ting in  a  little  oakum  and  a 
leather  under  the  shoe.  This 
will  grow  the  horn  down 
and  make  the  foot  sound,  and 
the  horse  can  be  worked  with- 
out need  of  further  atten- 
tion.

DR.  LESURE^S  ANTISEPTIC  GALL  CURE. 

FOR 

Saddle  Galls,  Collar  Boils,  Cuts,  Mud  Scalds,  Scratches,  Rope  Burns, 
etc*,  upon  Horses  and  Cattle* 

This  Gall  Cure  is  one  of  the  standard  preparations,  and  it 
would  be  impossible  to  make  it  of  a  higher  degree  of  perfection; 
and  when  used  in  a  proper  manner  it  cannot  but  help  to  effect 
a  cure.  In  cases  where  the  sore  is  not  too  deep  it  dries  it  up 
and  does  not  make  any  scab.  The  Cure  should  be  applied  while 
harnessing  the  horse,  and  should  be  rubbed  well  into  the  sore. 

In  using  my  Gall  Cure,  I  desire  to  caution  you,  don't  put  on 
too  much.  For  a  sore  the  size  of  a  silver  dollar  take  an  amount 
of  the  Gall  Cure  the  size  of  a  pea  and  rub  it  in  thoroughly,  and 
repeat  it  each  time  you  put  on  or  take  off  the  harness.  If  your 
horse  is  standing  in  the  barn,  apply  night  and  morning,  but 
don't  use  too  much,  "that's  all." 

Ask  your  dealer  for  it,  and  remember  that  my  absolute  guar- 
antee is  behind  each  box  you  buy  and  you  take  no  risk.  Your 
money  back  if  not  satisfied.  Put  up  in  two  sizes,  25  cents  and 
50  cents.  The  50-cent  box  holds  two  and  one-half  times  as 
much  as  the  25-cent  size. 

Directions  for  Use* 

Harness  Gall.  —  Apply  the  Cure  to  each  sore  spot  when  har- 
nessing and  unharnessing.  Rub  well  into  the  sore.  It  will  cure 
without  laying  up  the  horse. 

Collar  Boils.— Tresit  the  same  as  for  Saddle  Galls. 

Sores  that  harness  does  not  cover:  Apply  Cure  three  times 
a  day,  rubbing  in  well  each  time. 

Abrasion  (Skin  off).— Apply  Cure  to  all  such  places  once  or 
twice  a  day;  rub  in  well.      Does  the  trick  and  does  it  quick. 

Scratches.— Of  a  dry  nature ;  clean  well  with  soft  brush  or 
cloth  and  apply  the  Cure,  rubbing  in  well,  three  times  a  day. 

C/iayes.— Apply  the  Cure  freely. 

Rope  Burns.— Apply  the  Cure  twice  daily,  rubbing  in  well. 

Remember  it  is  guaranteed  to  be  as  represented,  or  monej^ 
refunded  as  cheerfully  as  taken.

PULLING  ON  THE  HALTER, 

This  is  a  habit  which  the  horse  acquires  by  being  hitched  with 
too  slight  a  halter.  After  once  breaking  away  he  will  try  it 
again ;  and  if  he  succeeds  once  or  twice,  the  habit  is  fixed  and 
he  will  try  it  as  often  as  opportunity  offers. 

The  most  successful  remedy  is  to  take  a  half-inch  cord;  put  it 
over  the  back,  about  where  the  saddle  goes,  in  the  form  of  a 
slipping  noose.  Carry  the  end  between  the  forward  legs  and 
through  the  halter  ring  and  hitch  to  the  manger  or  post.  One 
or  two  pulls  will  satisfy  him  and  break  him  of  the  habit. 


Promptly  discharge  the  driver  who  treats  your  horse  in  this  manner.

never  should  be  turned  out  to  pasture  without  having  their  feet 
pared  off  even,  so  as  not  to  let  one  side  or  the  other  break  off 
and  make  the  foot  grow  crooked.  A  colt  whose  feet  have  grown 
crooked  can  never  be  brought  back  to  as  good  a  balance  as  nature 
gave  him.  The  feet  should  be  pared  at  least  twice  a  year,  until 
the  colt  is  to  be  shod  for  permanent  use. 

In  shoeing  colts,  they  should  be  shod  according  to  the  work 
intended  for  them  to  do.  If  for  the  road,  shoe  with  plate  shoe 
with  a  little  heel  calk  on  the  hind  shoes,  but  no  toe  calk.  If  the 
feet  are  crooked,  build  up  with  a  thick-sided  shoe,  so  as  to  bring 
the  feet  as  level  as  possible.  If  the  colt  is  to  be  shod  for  draft 
purposes  and  needs  calks,  shoe  with  as  low  calks  as  possible, 
always  setting  the  toe  calk  back  from  the  edge  of  the  shoe  some 
distance.  That  will  cause  the  colt  to  set  his  foot  down  on  the 
ground  square  to  pull ;  and  he  will  learn  that  at  the  start  and 
never  climb  on  his  toes,  as  a  horse  will  do  if  the  toe  calk  is  placed 
out  on  the  extreme  edge  of  the  shoe,  as  is  the  habit  of  most 
shoers  to-day. 


TO  NON-USERS  OF  DR.  LESURE'S  FAMOUS 
REMEDIES. 

Many  years  ago  a  horse-breeder,  who  has  since  become  famous 
in  the  horse  world,  found  himself  one  dark  night,  lost  in  the 
wilds  of  southern  Kentucky.  After  much  wandering,  and  when 
hope  of  finding  shelter  for  the  night  was  about  gone,  he  espied 
a  friendly  light  coming  from  the  lone  window  of  a  squatter's 
cabin.  His  tale  was  soon  told,  and  he  was  informed  by  the 
squatter  and  his  wife  in  very  broken  English  that  he  might 
''sleep  the  hearth  on,  or  go  the  ladder  up  and  sleep  mit  the 
baby."  He  chose  the  hearth  and  in  the  morning  almost  had  an 
attack  of  heart  failure  when  he  found  the  baby  to  be  a  buxom 
big  girl  not  a  day  under  seventeen.  Right  there  and  then  the 
horseman  decided  that  in  the  future  he  would  investigate  all

information  before  making  up  his  mind,  even  on  so  small  a 
matter  as  a  place  to  sleep. 

We  have  been  hammering  the  general  public  each  year  for 
the  past  twenty-five  years,  with  samples  to  test,  and  with  books 
and  circulars  giving  complete  information  on  the  many  horse 
ailments,  and  how  to  administer  the  different  remedies  we  man- 
ufacture, to  insure  a  sure  and  satisfactory  cure. 

The  result  is  that  to-day  thousands  of  satisfied  customers  carry 
a  full  line  of  our  remedies  in  stock  right  along.  There  are  still 
many  good  horsemen  who  have  not  availed  themselves  of  the 
opportunity  to  investigate  this  matter,  remember  there  is  a  bind- 
ing guarantee  behind  every  bottle  or  box  of  medicine  Dr.  Lesure 
puts  up,  and  if  you  are  not  already  one  of  our  many  customers, 
just  stop  a  moment  and  think  it  over.  ''They  are  standard  in 
every  respect,  easy  to  administer  and  sure  for  good  results, 
which  means  a  great  saving  of  both  time  and  money  to  all 
owners  of  livestock."  Isn't  it  about  time  for  you  to  quit 
sleeping  on  the  hearth? 


PREPARING  THE  FOOT  FOR  THE  SHOE. 

First,  before  removing  the  old  shoe,  examine  the  foot  carefully, 
so  as  to  see  what  it  needs  to  get  it  in  proper  balance.  After  hav- 
ing this  thoroughly  fixed  in  your  mind,  remove  the  shoe  by  care- 
fully cutting  the  clinches  and  raising  the  heels  of  the  shoe  gently 
with  a  pair  of  thick-jawed  pincers,  taking  care  not  to  bruise  the 
heel  or  strain  the  foot-joint,  as  I  have  seen  horses  made  lame 
by  careless  pulling  of  the  shoes.  Then  use  the  dirt  hook  to  clean 
out  the  dirt  and  any  foreign  substance  that  may  have  collected  in

the  creases  alongside  the  frog.  Next  take  the  round  knife  and 
trim  off  all  the  ragged  parts  of  the  frog;  and  then  with  the  hoof 
parers,  start  at  the  heel  and  go  around  the  foot,  paring  the  hoof 
as  level  as  possible ;  and  finish  up  with  the  rasp,  so  as  to  get  a 
perfectly  level  surface  for  the  shoe. 

Never,  under  any  circumstances,  put  a  hot  shoe  to  the  foot 
so  as  to  level  its  mark,  but  fit  the  shoe  perfectly  level,  pinch- 
ing out  the  nail  holes  and  slightly  slanting  in  so  as  to  get  a  good, 
deep  hole  in  the  hoof  Never  drive  the  nails  higher  in  the  hoof 
than  is  absolutely  necessary,  as  nails  driven  high  up  in  the  hoof 
deaden  the  hoof  and  cause  it  to  dry  out  more  quickly,  resulting 
in  contraction  and  many  other  troubles.  In  finishing  the  hoof, 
never  rasp  it  any  above  the  nails  nor  rasp  too  deep  a  crease  under 
the  nails.  Use  the  clinching  tongs  to  turn  the  clinches  down 
without  hammering  any  on  top  of  the  hoof,  especially  on  a 
colt's  foot,  or  that  of  a  horse  that  is  tender  in  the  feet. 


HOW  TO  FIT  THE  SHOE. 

The  shoe  should  be  fitted  to  the  foot,  and  not  the  foot  to  the 
shoe.  The  common  practice  is  to  pick  out  a  shoe  from  a  miscel- 
laneous stock,  and  nail  on  the  one  which  comes  the  nearest.  Is 
it  a  wonder  that  we  have  contracted  feet  and  navicular  disease? 
The  shoe  should  cover  the  crust  or  wall  all  around  the  foot,  and 
the  heels  should  not  extend  straight  back  from  the  quarters, 
which  are  the  weakest  parts  of  the  wall,  making  a  wedge  of  the 
heel  of  the  foot  between  the  heels  of  the  shoe  and  causing  con- 
traction. Let  the  shoe  fit  the  wall  to  a  hair's  breadth ;  if  drawn 
too  far  in,  it  will  cause  corns  by  bruising  the  inside  heel  of  the

Dear  Sir:  I  have  used  some  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Colic  Cure  and  find  it  is  the

Said  he  was  seventy  years  old  and  had  handled  horses  all  his  life,  and  said 
it  was  the  finest  thing  he  ever  used.

sole.  In  fact,  the  proper  shoe  is  but  an  extension  of  the  wall  of 
the  hoof,  made  of  harder  material  for  its  protection.  A  shoe 
without  calks  is  the  best,  as  it  gives  a  level  bearing,  yet  calks 
cannot  always  be  dispensed  with.  It  should  be  of  the  same  thick- 
ness all  around,  and  only  sufficiently  heavy  to  endure  the  weight 
of  the  horse.  Too  heavy  shoes  require  very  heavy  nails,  which 
are  injurious.  The  web  should  not  be  very  wide,  and  is  better 
if  hollowed  or  concaved  on  the  ground  surface,  as  it  gives  a 
better  hold ,  and  is  nearer  the  natural  shape.  The  surface  applied 
to  the  foot  should  be  perfectly  true  and  smooth,  so  that  a  perfect 
union  can  be  made  without  an  excessive  number  of  nails,  and 
without  tightly  clinching.  The  shoe  should  make  a  water-proof 
joint,  forming,  as  it  were,  part  and  parcel  of  the  wall. 


BITTING  AND  HARNESSING  COLTS. 

This  should  not  be  doneby  driving  or  riding,  but  by  puttinga 
light  bridle  with  an  ordinary  snaffle  bit  on  the  colt,  and  leaving 
it  on  for  a  few  hours  each  day  until  he  ceases  to  "fight  the  bit," 
after  which  gentle  pressure,  by  the  use  of  the  check  rein  attached 
to  a  surcingle,  should  be  given,  and  gradually  increased  by  short- 
ening the  check  until  the  head  is  held  in  about  the  position  de- 
sired. This  teaches  him  to  carry  a  good  head,  and  at  the  same 
time  to  yield  to  pressure  upon  the  bit;  his  mouth  becomes  accus- 
tomed to  it,  and  w^e  avoid  the  sore  mouths  so  often  seen  in  colts 
when  they  are  driven  or  ridden  without  preliminary  bitting.  The 
harness  should  then  be  put  on  and  the  colt  should  be  allowed  to 
run  in  a  large  box  stall  or  paddock  for  a  few  hours  each  day

until  he  becomes  accustomed  to  having  the  harness  put  on,  to 
wearing  it,  and  to  having  it  removed,  v^ithout  fear  or  nervous- 
ness. He  is  then  ready  to  be  driven,  which  may  be  done  either 
with  a  good-mannered  mate  or  singly.  I  do  not  think  it  wise 
to  drive  two  colts  together  at  first.  In  fact,  teach  a  colt  to  go 
singly  first,  and  then  we  seldom  have  trouble  when  we  want  it 
to  go  with  a  mate ;  but  many  prefer  driving  him  with  a  steady 
but  prompt  old  horse  first.  Whichever  we  do,  I  think  we  should 
drive  him  a  few  times  with  just  the  harness  before  hitching  to 
a  rig.  It  is  well  to  give  him  a  few  lessons  this  way  first.  Teach 
him  to  stand,  go  on,  back,  etc.,  and  allow  him  to  see  all  the  sights 
that  are  liable  to  frighten  him.  When  he  is  hitched  we  should  see 
that  both  harness  and  rig  are  strong.  The  idea  that  ''  any  old 
thing"  is  good  enough  to  hitch  a  colt  to  is  entirely  wrong. 
The  "old  thing"  may  break  and  the  colt  injure  himself  or  run 
awa3^  and  thereby  acquire  habits  that  he  is  very  slow  to 
forget.  Have  things  so  strong  that  they  are  not  liable  to  break, 
and  be  in  a  position  to  conquer  him  without  violence  or  harsh- 
ness if  he  act  badly,  as  will  sometimes  occur  notwithstanding 
all  care  taken.  If  driving  singly,  it  is  wise  to  use  a  kicking 
strap  for  the  first  few  times. 


DRIVING. 

It  may  be  generally  remarked  that  men  who  drive  fast  have 
swift  horses ;  not  that  they  drive  fast  because  they  have  swift 
horses,  but  because  fast  driving  makes  horses  swift.  A  horse 
may  commonly  be  trained  to  a  dull  and  heavy,  or  to  an  airy  and 
fleet,  gait.  Nature  unquestionably  does  much;  but  education  does 
far  more  towards  producing  the  great  difference  in  the  speed  of

horses  than  most  men  are  willing  to  admit.  Horses  are  more 
frequently  injured  by  driving  them  beyond  their  habitual  pace 
than  beyond  their  natural  power.  The  best  direction  for  the 
education  of  horses  is,  ''Drive  fast  and  stop  often." 


WHAT  WOULD  YOU  DO? 

If  a  man  offered  you  good  American  dollars  for  85  cents, 
v^hat  w^ould  you  do  ? 

If  a  reliable  manufacturer  of  horse  Tonics  and  Horse  Remedies 
offered  to  save  you  15  per  cent  on  your  feed  bill,  and  keep  your 
horses  looking  better  than  they  do  now,  what  would  you  do  ? 

If  to  save  the  15  per  cent  on  j^our  feed  bill  under  present  con- 
ditions it  would  be  necessary  to  half  starve  your  horses,  what 
would  you  do? 

If  thousands  of  thamost  prominent  stablemen  in  this  country 
save  the  15  per  cent  on  the  feed  bills  by  using  Dr.  Lesure's 
famous  Renovator  Powders,  and  keep  their  horses  looking  bet- 
ter than  yours,  what  would  you  do? 

If  the  same  prominent  horsemen  used  these  powders  just 
to  please  the  manufacturer,  what  would  they  be  doing? 

No  one  is  going  to  use  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  Pow^  ders  just 
to  please  the  Doctor.  They  use  them  to  save  money  and  keep 
their  stock  in  better  condition,  and  for  no  other  reason. 


THE  GREATEST  LEAK  IN  HORSE  VALUK 

Special  Notice— Census  reports  show  that  there  are  26,000,000 
horses  and  mules  in  the  United  States  and  that  only  one-third 
of  them  are  considered  to  be  of  sound  hoof.  Three-fourths  of 
all  lameness  in  horses  can  be  traced  directly  to  the  feet.  One 
diseased  hoof  on  a  $200  horse  will  diminish  his  value  to  $50  in 
a  very  short  time.  One  application  a  week  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Elec- 
tric Hoof  Ointment  will  stop  this  leak  in  horse  value,  and  a 
daily  application  will  soon  restore  unsound  hoofs  to  a  healthy 
condition.  It  softens,  toughens,  and  promotes  a  very  rapid 
growth.

KARBO  CREAM  DISINFECTANT. 

The  Most  Powerful  Antiseptic  and  Germ  Killer  Known  to 
Modern  Science*  It  is  Safe,  Sure,  Cheap,  Handy,  Effective 
and  Convenient*  Should  Be  Used  in  Every  Home,  Hotel, 
and  Factory,  and  Public  Buildings,  Steam  Boats,  Railroad 
Cars,  Places  of  Amusement,  Stores,  Stations,  Stables,  Kennels, 
Dairy  Barns,  or  any  Place  Inhabited  by  Man  or  Where 
Domestic  Animals   are  Kept* 

As  a  disinfectant  it  is  non-poisonous,  non-explosive,  non-cor- 
rosive, making  it  a  safe,  harmless  remedy  to  use  anywhere, 
under  all  circumstances. 

Karbo  Cream  is  a  heavy,  carbolized  liquid  compound ;  and 
when  properly  diluted  with  water  it  makes  a  pure  white  solution 
that  can  be  applied,  without  leavingany  stain,  blemish,  or  injury 
of  any  kind,  to  floors,  wood  or  marble  halls,  mattings,  carpets, 
clothes  of  any  description,  upholstered  car  seats,  cabs,  blankets, 
hospital  cots,  undertakers'  wagons  or  in  fact  anywhere  that  a 
good,  active,  clean  disinfectant  and  antiseptic  germ  killer  is 
required. 

Directions.— For  all  ordinary  disinfecting  purposes,  take  one 
part  Karbo  Cream  to  50  parts  of  water.  For  very  bad  odors 
or  foul  places,  take  one  part  of  the  fluid  to  16  parts  of  water. 
For  washing  up  floors,  one-half  pint  to  a  pail  of  water.  For 
factories,  public  halls,  etc.,  sprinkle  all  floors,  closets,  etc. 

To  Prevent  Infection  from  Contagious  Diseases,  put  the 
solution  in  vessels  in  sick  room,  and  in  spittoons,  chamber  uten- 
sils, and  commodes  a  teaspoonful  to  a  pint  of  water. 

For  Disinfecting  When  Washing  infected  clothing,  put  a 
tablespoonful  into  boiler  with  clothes.  For  sinks,  bath  tubs, 
urinals,  garbage  cans,  water-closets,  drains,  gutters,  waste- 
pipes,  cesspools,  etc.,  one  gill  to  a  quart  of  water. 

Buffalo  Bugs  and  Moths.  — One  gill  to  a  pail  of  water. 
Sprinkle  thoroughly  under  carpets,  especially  around  the  edges. 
If  carpets  have  become  infested  with  moths,  sponge  face  of  carpet

with  same  solution.    It  will  improve  the  looks  of  your  carpets 
and  destroy  the  moths. 

Karho  Cream  in  solution  can  be  used  at  all  times  with  perfect 
safety.   The  fumes  arising  from  it  are  highly  beneficial  to  health. 

Butchers  and  Fish  Dealers  will  find  Karbo  Cream  very  good 
for  keeping  down  bad  odors  and  arresting  all  decay.  Use  three 
ounces  to  a  pail  of  water. 

Dandruff. — There  is  no  preparation  on  earth  that  will  clean 
the  scalp  better  than  one  teaspoonful  of  Karbo  Cream  in  a  quart 
of  warm  water.  Rub  the  solution  in  well,  allowing  it  to  remain 
for  a  few  minutes;  then  rinse  the  hair  wnth  water. 

Warts  or  Corns.— Apply  Karbo  Cream  twice  a  day  for  eight 
or  ten  days  to  either  warts  or  corns  and  they  will  disappear; 
nothing  better. 

The  Bath. — Always  use  a  teaspoonful  of  Karbo  Cream  in  the 
water  when  taking  a  bath.  It  will  stop  itching,  sweeten,  purify, 
and  soften  the  skin.  Also  acts  as  a  defence  against  contagious 
diseases. 

For  Private  Use,  as  an  injection  or  wash  for  either  men  or 
women,  use  15  to  20  drops  to  a  pint  of  warm  water.  It  cures 
urethral  and  vaginal  discharges,  reduces  inflammation,  stops 
pain,  and  kills  all  disease  germs. 

Perspiring-,  Fetid  Feet.— Kavho  Cream  is  a  sovereign  remedy 
for  this  obnoxious  trouble.  Soak  the  feet  in  a  strong  solution 
twice  a  week,  especiaHy  during  warm  weather.  The  result  ob- 
tained will  please  you. 

Where  There  Is  Smallpox,  Scarlet  Fever,  Typhoid  Fever, 
Diphtheria,  or  Consumption,  etc.  —  Use  strong  solution  of 
Karbo  Cream  constantly.  It  will  destroy  all  germs  and  prevent 
the  spread  of  these  dangerous  diseases.  It  will  disinfect,  cleanse, 
purify  and  help  to  heal  cuts,  wounds,  ulcers,  bites  or  stings, 
skin  abrasions,  chapped  hands,  or  sores,  of  any  kind. 

Whitewash. — Use  strong  solution  in  all  lime  mixtures ;  disin- 
fects, and  makes  the  lime  stick  much  better. 

For  Veterinary,  Farm,  and  Garden  Uses,  Stables,  Kennels, 
etc.,  sprinkle  freely  all  floors,  troughs,  mangers,  pens,  etc.,  with 
one-half  pint  to  a  pail  of  water.

Mange  on  Horses.  — Wash  all  affected  parts  with  a  solution 
of  one-half  pint  to  a  gallon  of  water. 

Ulcers,  Sores,  Wounds,  etc. — Take  one  part  to  fifty  parts  of 
water  for  washing  sores,  wounds,  mud  scratches,  grease-heel, 
thrush,  etc. 

To  Keep  Off  Flies,  Destroy  Insects,  etc.  —  One  ounce  to  two 
quarts  of  water.  Either  use  as  a  spray  or  sponge  all  parts  of 
body  twice  a  day. 

Mange  and  Fleas  on  Dogs  and  Cats. — Take  a  tablespoonful 
to  a  quart  of  warm  water.  Apply  thoroughly  to  all  parts  of 
the  body  with  a  brush.  Four  to  six  applications  will  effect  a 
permanent  cure. 

Hen  Lice. — One  part  to  fifty  parts  of  water.  Spray  or  sprinkle 
all  parts  of  nests,  coops,  and  houses  once  a  week  during  the  sum- 
mer months.  Paint  the  roosts  with  a  mixture  of  equal  parts  of 
Karbo  Cream,  flour,  sulphur,  and  coal  oil.  Apply  hot.  A  sure 
exterminator  and  preventative.  Add  a  few  drops  of  Karbo 
Cream  to  the  chicken's  drinking  water  to  keep  them  healthy. 

For  the  Garden.— It  is  infallible  for  destroying  bugs  that  eat 
and  destroy  young  cucumbers,  squash,or  pumpkin  plants.  Spray 
with  a  solution  of  one  part  to  one  hundred  parts  of  water. 
Same  solution  for  spraying  in  hot-houses,  rose  bushes,  vines, 
or  shrubs  of  any  kind. 

Hog  CAo/era.— By  sprinkling  the  pens  once  a  week  during  the 
hot  months  with  a  strong  solution  of  Karbo  Cream  and  adding 
a  few  drops  of  the  strong  fluid  to  the  swill  or  drinking-water 
occasionally,  you  will  not  need  have  any  fear  of  hog  cholera 
getting  into  your  herd. 

Remember  this  Maxim: — A  few  cents'  worth  of  prevention  is 
worth  many  dollars'  worth  of  cure.  The  great  majority  of  the 
people  of  this  country  are  just  beginning  to  realize  that  it  is 
absolutely  necessary  for  their  health  and  comfort  to  use  a  liberal 
amount  of  disinfectants,  antiseptics,  and  germicides  constantly. 
Karbo  Cream  is  manufactured  on  strictly  scientific  principles,  so 
as  to  create  the  greatest  amount  of  antiseptic  qualities,  and  will 
be  found  altogether  reliable  under  all  circumstances.

DR.  LESURE'S  REMEDIES  FOR  FAMILY  USE. 

Several    of    my    Specific 

Remedies  will    be   found  just 

as  valuable  for  family  use  as 

they  are  for  veterinary  prac- 
tice.   The  only  essential  point 

in    administering    them    is  to 

remember  that  the  dose  for  a 

horse  is  usually  ten  to  twelve 

times   greater   than  the  dose 

for  a  man;   otherwise,   as  to 

strength  and  purity,  the  Med- 
icines    have    no    difierence 

whatever.      I  am  continually 

receiving  many    kind    letters 

from    people    assuring    me    of 

the   great   benefit   they    have 

received  from  their  use. 

Colic  and  Cramps. — Take  five  drops  of  the  No.  1  Colic  Cure 

every  15  minutes  until  relieved.    As  it  is  very  bitter,  most  people 

prefer  taking  it  in  sweetened  water. 

Chills  and  Fever. — Take  at  once  two-  to  three-drop  doses  of 

the  Fever  drops  in  half  a  teaspoonful  of  water  every  hour  until 

four  to  six  doses  are  taken,  when  the  time  between  doses  may  be 

extended  to  two  hours.   Never  give  over  three  drops  at  a  single 

dose ;  iDut  if  the  chill  is  heavy,  it  may 
be  given  every  30  minutes  at  first. 

InBammation  of  Bowels.  —  Treat 
same  as  for  Chills,  and  take  a  table- 
spoonful  of  castor-  or  sweet  oil  every 
three  hours  until  the  bowels  are  in  a 
lax  condition.  Rub  the  Special  Lini- 
ment over  the  abdomen  and  keep  as 
quiet  as  possible  until  all  pain  has 
subsided. 

InBamtnation  of  Stomach  or  Bow- 
els.—  Treat  same  as  for  Chills,  and 
apply  the  Special  Liniment  to 
abdomen.  Take  tablespoonful  doses 
of  castor-  or  sweet  oil    until  a  lax 


USE  IN  THE  NICK  OF  TIME.

condition  of  the  bowels  is  secured.    Keep  the  body  in  as  quiet 
a  condition  as  possible. 

Coughs  and  Colds.— There  is  no  family  preparation  on  the 
market  that  will  favorably  compare  with  my  Cough  and  Tonic 
Drops  for  breaking  up  a  cough,  either  new  or  old,  or  for  reliev- 
ing a  cold.  Take  ten  drops  on  sugar  every  two  to  four  hours, 
according  to  the  severity  of  the  case. 

Bronchial  Affections.  —Treat  with  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops 
same  as  for  Coughs  and  Colds,  and  apply  the  Special  Liniment 
to  the  throat  and  chest. 

Indigestion.— As  a  tonic  and  stomach  regulator  Dr.  Lesure's 
Cough  and  Tonic  Drops  stand  unequaled.  Its  action  upon  the 
stomach,  liver,  and  kidneys  is  so  beneficial  that  the  result  will 
astonish  the  most  skeptical  who  will  give  it  a  trial.  If  you  have 
indigestion,  loss  of  appetite,  or  a  run-down,  tired  feeling,  or  if 
your  kidneys  do  not  act  properly,  take  three  10-drop  doses  daily 
in  a  little  water  for  two  weeks,  and  the  result  will  be  altogether 
satisfactory. 

Sore  Gums.  — Apply  Dr.  Lesure's  All-Healing  Balm  at  least 
three  times  a  day. 

Dr.  Lesure^s  Family  Liniment.— As  an  external  remedy  for 
family  use,  this  Liniment  should  be  kept  on  hand  at  all  times. 
It  is  not  greasy  or  sticky,  and  has  no  disagreeable  smell  to  annoy 
the  user.  One  application  will  convince  any  one  of  its  great 
penetrating  qualities.  It  has  no  equal  for  removing  pain,  for 
reducing  Sprains,  or  for  relieving  Rheumatic  Soreness,  Stiff 
Joints,  Inflammation,  Neuralgia,  Sore  Throat,  Bee  Stings,  Mos- 
quito Bites,  and  Ivy  Poisoning.  Strengthens  Weak  Ankles  and 
relaxes  Sore  Muscles.  Its  great  strength  makes  it  both  the  best 
and  the  cheapest  family  liniment  in  existence. 

Directions. — Never  apply  any  liniment  until  the  affected  part 
has  been  thoroughly  bathed  with  water,  as  hot  as  the  patient 
can  stand  it,  from  five  to  twenty  minutes.  This  will  remove  all 
greasy  substance  and  open  the  pores  of  the  skin.  If  the  skin  is 
highly  inflamed  or  shows  tenderness,  simply  bathe  the  parts 
lightly,  without  rubbing  in.  When  quick  action  is  desired,  apply 
the  Liniment  in  greater  quantity,  with  plenty  of  friction,  and 
cover  with  flannel  cloths.  Should  there  be  too  much  irritation 
produced,  apply  sweet  oil  or  vaseline. 


ALWA.YS  FOLLOW  DIRECTIONS  CAREFULLY. 


FOR  PRIVATE  TREATMENT  OF  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS.        101 

Mosquito  and  Poisonous  Insect  Bites  will  have  no  terrors  for 
people  who  keep  a  bottle  of  Lesure's  Family  Liniment  on  hand. 
It  kills  the  poison  and  gives  instant  relief.  A  few  drops  rubbed 
on  the  hands  and  face  when  camping  out  will  keep  mosquitoes 
away. 

Rheumatism.— Apply  the  Liniment  freely  and  take  internally 
five-drop  doses  of  equal  parts  of  spirits  of  turpentine  and  oil  of 
wintergreen  three  times  a  day.  This  treatment  has  cured  many 
obstinate  cases. 

Toothache. — Saturate  a  small  lump  of  cotton  and  apply  to 
cavity  of  tooth. 

Sore  Feet. — Many  people  are  troubled  with  perspiring  and 
tender  feet.  To  secure  foot  comfort,  bathe  the  feet  once  a  day 
in  cold  water,  adding  60  drops  of  Karbo  Cream.  Wipe  dry  and 
apply  a  light  application  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Liniment. 

Athletes  will  find  Dr.  Lesure's  Liniment  a  reliable  remedy  in 
every  respect  for  Knotted  Cords,  Sore  Muscles,  Sore  Feet, 
Wrenched  Back  or  Ankle,  Bumps,  Sprains  and  Bruises.  Many 
professional  ball  players  call  it  "  Lesure's  Get  There  Liniment." 

Warts  or  Cor^s.— Apply  Karbo  Cream,  full  strength,  to  either 
Warts  or  Corns  twiceadayforlOdays,  and  they  will  disappear. 
Nothing  better. 

Dandruff. — There  is  no  preparation  on  earth  that  will  remove 
Dandruff  from  the  scalp  like  one  teaspoonful  of  Karbo  Cream 
in  a  quart  of  warm  water.  Rub  the  solution  in  well  with  the 
hands,  allowing  it  to  remain  for  a  few  minutes ;  then  rinse  the 
hair  with  cold  water. 

The  Bath.  Always  add  a  tablespoonful  of  Karbo  Cream  to 
the  water  when  taking  a  bath.  It  will  stop  itching,  and  sweeten, 
purify,  and  soften  the  skin.  Also  acts  as  a  defense  against  con- 
tagious diseases. 

For  Private  Use  as  an  injection  or  wash  for  either  men  or 
women.  Use  15  to  20  drops  in  a  pint  of  warm  water.  It  cures 
urethral  and  vaginal  discharges,  reduces  inflammation,  stops 
pain,  and  kills  all  disease  germs. 

Perspiring,  Fetid  Feet.— Karbo  Cream  is  a  sovereign  remedy 
for  this  obnoxious  trouble.  Soak  the  feet  in  a  strong  solution 
twice  a  week,  especially  during  warm  weather.  The  result  will 
be  satisfactory. 

KEEP  YOUR  ANIMALS  IN  GOOD  CONDITION. 


102  DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 

Where  there  is  Smallpox,  Diphtheria,  Scarlet  Fever,  etc,— 
Use  strong  solution  of  Karbo  Cream  constantly.  It  will  destroy 
all  germs  and  prevent  the  spread  of  these  dangerous  diseases. 
It  will  also  disinfect,  cleanse,  purify,  and  help  to  heal  Cuts, 
Wounds,  Ulcers,  Bites  or  Stings,  Skin  Abrasions,  Chapped 
Hands,  or  sores  of  any  kind. 

Karbo  Cream  is  a  necessity  in  every  home,  office,  factory, 
stable,  or  any  place  where  people  live  or  domestic  animals  are 
kept.  Prices  in  one-,  five-,  and  ten-gallon  lots,  also  by  barrel, 
furnished  on  application. 

A  FEW  THINGS  WORTH  REMEMBERING- 

That  in  these  days  of  great  competition,  most  horsemen  do 
their  work  with  a  rush  and  also  feed  their  horses  with  a  rush, 
watering  in  the  same  manner,  and  then  kick  because  their  horses 
get  out  of  condition,  or  rely  on  some  cheap  stock  food  to  help 
them  out.    Think  it  over. 

That  when  horses  are  worked  hard  and  fed  heavily,  they  need 
a  good  tonic  and  renovator  to  keep  their  digestive  organs  in  a 
strong  and  healthy  condition.  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  Pow- 
ders keep  horses  well. 

That  cheap  horse  medicines  are  like  cheap  shoddy  clothes- 
no  good. 

That  Dr.  Lesure's  celebrated  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops  is  the 
remedy  for  a  sick  horse  that  will  not  eat.  Just  place  30  drops 
on  his  tongue  three  times  a  day  for  a  few  days  and  note  the 
result. 

That  all  of  Dr.  Lesure's  famous  Remedies  are  guaranteed 
under  the  Pure  Food  and  Drug  Act  of  June  30, 1906,  Serial  No. 
550,  and  that  they  are  subject  to  government  inspection  at 
all  times.    You  take  no  chances  when  using  Lesure's.

Dear  Sir:  It  gives  me  pleasure  to  add  my  testimonial  in  praise  of  your. 
Veterinary  Remedies.  I  have  had  charge  of  seventy-five  horses  for  a  com- 
pany for  ten  years,  and  1  have  used  all  kinds  of  remedies,  but  1  find  your 
Remedies  are  the  best  of  all.  I  cannot  recommend  them  too  highly  to  all 
horsemen.  Yours  very  truly,

DR.  LESURE'S 
REMEDIES  FOR  COWS  AND  CATTLE. 

Cattle  are  Subject  to  some  very  dangerous  diseases ;  but  as 
their  life  is  less  artificial  and  their  structure  less  complex,  they 
are  not  liable  to  the  great  variety  of  ailments  that  affect  the 
horse.  The  general  pathology  of  the  horse  and  ox  being  little 
different,  the  fundamental  rules  for  treatment  in  both,  when  not 
particularized,  will  be  found  the  same. 

Bloat,  Colic,  or  Scours.— G'lYe  at  onceDr.  Lesure's  Colic  Cure 
in  30-drop  doses;  a  sure  and  speedy  cure. 


Run-down  Condition. — Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  Powders  cure 
indigestion  and  loss  of  appetite,  make  rich  red  blood  and  greatly 
improve  the  flow  of  milk.  One  trial  will  convince  any  dairyman 
of  the  value  of  this  treatment. 

Sore  Teats,  Rotten  Claws.— Dr.  Lesure's  All-Healing  Balm  is 
the  remedy,  cheap,  safe  and  sure,  for  any  kind  of  wounds. 

Milk  Fever,  InEammation  of  the  Womb,  etc.— Dr.  Lesure's 
Fever  Drops  will  be  found  indispensable  for  these  ailments. 
This  remedy  should  be  kept  at  hand  in  every  well-regulated 
dairy  stable.  When  a  cow  shows  signs  of  fever,  give  at  once  a 
quart  of  raw  linseed  oil,  follow  with  30-drop  doses  of  Fever 
Drops  every  hour  until  four  to  six  doses  are  given.    With  good

104  DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 

nursing  added  to  this  treatment,  no  man  need  worry,  call  a 
veterinary  surgeon,  or  give  any  other  medicine.  It  is  well  to 
give  a  few  doses  of  Fever  Drops  and  Renovator  Powders  to 
cows  before  and  after  calving.  They  make  healthy  cows,  strong 
calves,  and  pure,  rich  milk.  The  above  treatment  is  used  exclu- 
sively by  a  surgeon  who  makes  dairy  practice  a  specialty,  and 
who  has  personally  informed  me  that  he  never  looses  a  case 
that  he  is  called  to  treat  in  any  reasonable  time. 

Cattle  Surgery  is  in  no  respect  different  from  that  practiced 
among  horses.  Wounds  are  treated  in  the  same  manner ;  and 
strains,  sprains,  bruises,  etc.,  are  also  to  be  treated  the  same 
as  in  horses. 

Foul  in  Hoof.—  Cleanse  with  disinfectant  and  pack  with 
Hoof  Ointment. 

Cattle  Obstetrics  is  not  very  varied.  Young  cows  of  very 
full  habits  ofttimeshave  superabundant  secretion  of  milk  before 
calving,  sometimes  from  cold  taken.  The  same  will  occur  after 
calving  also.  In  either  case  give  a  mild,  dry  diet,  or  hay.  Bathe 
the  udder  freely  with  Dr.  Lesure's  Fever  Drops  and  give30-drop 
doses  every  two  hours  internally.  There  will  be  no  caked  udder 
where  this  treatment  is  followed.  As  much  pain  follows  these 
troubles,  treatment  should  be  prompt. 

Vermin,  Lice,  Bad  Odor,  etc. — Karbo  Cream  Disinfectant  is 
the  remedy.  It  kills  lice,  parasites,  or  any  skin  germ  affections, 
and  wards  off  contagious  diseases  by  thoroughly  disinfecting  the 
animals,  stable,  etc.,  w^here  it  is  applied.  It  is  cheap,  safe,  and 
certain.  When  diluted  with  water,  one  gallon  of  the  fluid 
makes  a  barrel  strong  enough  for  any  use. 

The  Process  of  Calving. — Usually  performed  without  much 
difficulty;  sometimes, however,crosspresentation  takes  place,and 
sometimes  a  constriction  of  parts  prevents  the  natural  passage  of 
the  calf.  To  act  properly  on  these  occasions  great  patience  is 
required  and  much  mildness;  many  valuable  cows  have  been  lost 
by  brutal  pulling.  W^e  have  seen  all  the  men  and  boys  on  a 
farm  mustered  to  pull  at  a  rope  affixed  to  a  calf  partly  protrud- 
ing, which,  when  it  was  finally  brought  away,  w^as  dead;  and  the 
mother  soon  died  also, from  the  protrusion  of  the  parts  this  brutal 
force  brought  about.  A  steady,  moderate  pull  during  the  strain 
of  the  animal  will  assist  much,  if  the  attention  has  first  been 
directed  to  the  situation  of  the  calf  to  see  that  the  position  is

FOR  PRIVATE  TREATMENT  OF  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS.        105 

such  as  not  to  obstruct  its  progress;  otherwise  the  calf  must  be 
forced  back  and  turned  or  placed  aright.  Never  hurry  or  get 
excited.  Give  assistance  at  the  proper  time  v^hen  needed,  and 
nature  will  do  the  rest. 

To  Prevent  Aborting. —  Feed  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  Pow- 
ders.  Bone  meal  is  also  advised  by  some  as  being  a  preventative. 

For  Constipation. — Feed  well-cooked  mash,  carrots,  and  soft 
foods  of  any  kind,  and  add  a  dose  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator 
with  a  pint  of  linseed  meal  every  day  for  a  week  or  ten  days. 

Garget  in  Cows. — This  trouble  usually  occurs  in  cows  that  are 
well-fed,  and  in  good  condition  when  calving.  It  affects  mostly 
one  or  two  parts  of  the  udder,  which  becomes  caked  by  the 
inflamed  condition. 

Treatment.— GivQ  at  once  a  quart  of  raw  linseed  oil  or  a  pound 
of  Epsom  salts.  Feed  only  dry  food  ;  clean  hay  is  best  for  two 
or  three  days.  Bathe  the  affected  parts  of  the  udder  freely  with 
Dr.  Lesure's  Fever  Drops  twice  a  day,  and  give  internally  30- 
drop  doses  of  same  three  times  a  day  for  two  days.  Milk  clean 
as  soon  as  possible,  and  you  will  be  pleased  with  the  results. 

Salt.  — A  milk  cow  should  have  at  least  two  ounces  of  salt 
every  day,  as  it  increases  the  flow  of  milk,  makes  sw^eeter  butter, 
and  keeps  the  digestive  organs  strong,  insuring  a  healthy,  profit- 
able cow. 

Poor  Feeders.  — Cause:  Musty  feed,  overworked  digestive 
apparatus,  etc.  Give  lime-water  in  drink,  feed  two  doses  of  Dr. 
Lesure's  Renovator  Powders  daily  for  one  week.  This  w411 
bring  any  animal  back  to  normal  condition. 

Dr.  Lesure's  Special  Liniment  is  a  great  antiseptic  and  germ 
killer  for  foot  rot,  and  also  for  scabs  and  grub  worms  in  sheep 
and  mange  in  cattle.  Every  raiser  of  stock  and  every  farm 
should  keep  this  liniment  on  hand.

Dr.  J.  G.  Lesure,  Keene,  N.  H. 

Dear  Sir:    In  regard  to  your  line  of  Medicines  I   will  say  that  after  a 
thorough  trial  they  are  the  best  1  have  ever  used. 

The  Colic  Cure  works  like  a  charm ;  in  fact  the  whole  line  is  indispen- 
sable to  anyone  having  horses,  and  I  heartily  recommend  them.

DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 


THE  CARE  AND  TREATMENT  OF  HOGS  WITH 
DR-  LESURE'S  REMEDIES, 

The  general  treatment  for  sick  and  diseased  hogs  never  seems 
to  have  been  practiced  with  much  success  by  any  one.  Yet  it 
has  become  an  old  saying  among  medical  men  that  the  stomach 
and  intestines  of  the  hog  resemble  the  same  organs  in  man.  It  is 
a  well-known  fact  that  the  hog,  when  in  a  healthy  condition,  is  a 
most  wonderfully  courageous  animal,  both  pugnacious  and  de- 
termined under  all  circumstances.  When  sick,  however,  hogs 
soon  become  very  helpless  creatures,  losing  all  energy  to  help 
themselves  in  the  least  and  in  many  cases  refusing  food  alto- 
gether; and  as  their  nature  makes  it  very  difficult  to  administer 
treatment  except  in  their  food,  the  all-important  question  for  all 
breeders  to  decide  naturally  would  be,  Which  will  be  the  most 
profitable  to  practice,  in  every  possible  way  to  prevent  disease 
among  his  herd,  or  rely  on  some  treatment  advanced  after  some 
of  the  animals  have  become  infected  ?    Certainly  the  former  is 

the    more    economical  

and  common-sense 
view  of  the  matter. 
Many  otherwise  good 
business  men  have 
the  erroneous  idea 
that  the  hog  is  such  a 
filthy  animal  by  na- 
ture that  it  needs 
very  little  care  from 
a  sanitary  point  of  view.  This  is  altogether  wrong,  as  practical 
experience  has  many  times  proved  that  if  the  pens  are  kept  fairly 
clean  where  hogs  are  confined,  with  dry  straw  added  occasionally 
for  a  litter,  they  will  soon  adjust  themselves  to  clean  habits  de- 
positing droppings  and  urine  in  a  certain  quarter  of  the  pen, 
which  they  are  very  careful  not  to  inhabit  for  any  other  purpose. 
It  is  certainly  a  pleasing  sighttolookataherdof  well-cared-for, 
clean-bristled , and  good-conditioned  Chester  Whites,  or  any  other 
breed ;  and  it  is  very  rare  that  people  who  will  give  them  the 
amount  of  care  that  they  deserve,  with  a  proper  diet,  have  any 
reason  to  complain  of  financial  loss  through  sickness  or  contag- 
ious diseases. 


KEEP  A  GOOD  SUPPLY  OF  REMEDIES  ON  HAND. 


FOR  PRIVATE  TREATMENT  OF  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS.        107 

Care  and  Feeding.— Thirst,  keep  the  hogs  in  as  clean  and  dry 
a  place  as  possible.  Avoid  all  wet  marshes  or  low  lands  for  their 
run,  see  that  they  have  a  cool,  shady  place  to  rest  and  pure  fresh 
water  to  drink.  Never  allow  them  to  get  at  refuse  or  filthy 
matter  of  any  kind,  and  protect  them  from  bacilli  and  disease 
germs  that  lurk  in  stagnant  water  pools.  Hogs  will  often  root 
off  more  flesh  than  good  feed  will  put  on.  The  nose  ring  will 
stop  this.  Brood  sows  are  especially  vicious  rooters.  Charcoal 
is  very  good  for  hogs  at  all  times.  When  hogs  are  confined,  the 
pens,  which  are  the  safest  place  for  them  to  avoid  sickness,  should 
be  kept  clean  and  be  thoroughly  disinfected  with  a  strong  solu- 
tion of  Karbo  Cream;  also  add  some  to  lime,  and  whitewash  all 
pens  at  least  once  a  month.  A  crushed  ration  of  mixed  grains 
is  best  for  growing  shoats.  A  liberal  supply  of  clover  is  also 
good.  Add  a  few  drops  of  Karbo  Cream  to  their  drink ;  it  will 
keep  them  disease-proof.  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  Powders  will 
make  pure  red  blood  and  cause  a  rapid  growth. 

Cholera  or  Swine  Plague. — This  is  the  most  dangerous  disease 
that  hogs  are  subject  to,  proving  fatal  in  most  cases,  often  carry- 
ing off  whole  herds.  It  has  been  characterized  by  many  authori- 
ties as  a  specific  type  of  blood-poison  caused  by  germs  (bacilli) 
from  filthy  conditions.  It  is  contagious,  often  being  traced  di- 
rectly to  the  introduction  of  hogs  from  distant  states.  There  is 
so  much  Hog  Cholera  in  the  great  swine  producing  States  of 
the  Middle  West  that  it  is  impossible  to  keep  stock-cars  and 
stock-yards  free  from  infection.  As  soon  as  this  disease  appears, 
the  infected  animals  should  be  separated  from  the  herd  and 
quarantined  for  at  least  ten  weeks. 

Symptoms. — General  prostration;  snout  and  ears  have  a  dark 
ash  or  lead  color ;  squeals  of  anguish,  showing  great  distress, 
followed  by  red  blotches  on  neck  and  body,  which  soon  turn  to 
a  dark  blue  as  the  disease  advances.  Death  usually  follows  in 
from  12  to  36  hours. 

Treatment. — Must  be  prompt  and  energetic  if  any  cure  is  to 
be  hoped  for.  Give  at  once  as  an  emetic  one-half  ounce  blood- 
root,  and  30  drops  tincture  of  lobelia  in  a  gill  of  strong  mustard 
water.  Follow  with  20-drop  doses  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Fever  Drops 
every  hour  until  four  to  six  doses  are  given.  If  the  animal  will 
drink,  add  one-half  ounce  of  saltpetre  (nitre)  and  two  ounces 
of  Epsom  salts  to  the  water.   This  will  cool  the  blood  and  keep

108  DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 

the  bowels  in  a  lax  condition.  Give  my  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops 
in  30-drop  doses  three  times  a  day.  It  is  a  great  tonic  and 
diuretic  for  all  domestic  animals.  Adding  five  drops  of  Karbo 
Cream  for  each  hog  in  the  drinking  water  twice  a  week  is  almost 
a  sure  preventative  against  Cholera. 

Apoplexy,  Fits.  —  This  complaint  is  confined  to  overfed  or 
very  fat  hogs. 

Symptoms -V^ alls  over  suddenly  with  legs  outstretched  twitch- 
ing of  muscles,  and  convulsive  breathing,  as  if  in  a  fit.  Treat- 
ment must  be  quick.  Inject  at  once  with  glycerine  or  a  strong 
solution  of  soap  and  water,  adding  a  little  salt.  Turn  a  stream 
of  cold  water  on  head  and  neck  or  use  cracked  ice  in  a  sack. 
As  soon  as  the  animal  has  recovered  sufiiciently,  give  one-half 
ounce  of  oil  of  sassafras  and  three  ounces  of  Epsom  salts. 
Repeat  until  the  evacuations  of  the  bowels  become  free.  Reduce 
the  feed  and  give  three  30-drop  doses  of  my  Cough  and  Tonic 
Drops  for  a  few  days. 

Skin  Disease,  Itch,  etc.— Often  caused  by  an  overheated  con- 
dition or  impure  blood.  Give  doses  of  Epsom  salts  as  directed 
and  apply  the  All-Healing  Balm  externally,  a-dding  a  few  doses 
of  Renovator  Powders.    This  will  soon  effect  a  cure. 

Lice.— Take  two  ounces  of  Karbo  Cream,  full  strength,  one- 
half  pound  of  melted  lard,  and  one  gallon  of  kerosene  oil;  shake 
well  before  applying.  This  mixture  will  be  found  a  sure  extermi- 
nator office  or  ticks.  One  application  is  sufficient.  Whitewash 
all  pens,  or  spray  with  solution  of  Karbo  Cream. 

Worms.— Many  thousands  of  dollars  in  feed  are  wasted  every 
year  on  hogs  infected  with  worms.  Dr.  Lesure's  Worm  Annihi- 
lator  given  in  one-half-package  doses  twice  a  day  in  bran  mash 
will  dispel  these  parasites  in  a  short  time  and  improve  the  gen- 
eral condition  very  much. 

Constipation.— Very  often  caused  by  milk  diet.  Change  diet 
and  add  the  Renovator  Powders,  one  dose  package  to  every 
three  hogs,  for  a  week. 

Feeding  Pigs.— Crushed  oats  with  milk  is  one  of  the  best  diets 
for  young  pigs ;  not  too  much  at  a  time,  but  feed  often.  The 
stomach  of  young  pigs  is  very  small  and  can  easily  be  overloaded, 
as  they  have  ravenous  appetites.  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  Pow- 
ders will  be  found  a  sovereign  remedy  for  swine  at  all  times. 

MY  GOODS  ARE  RELIABLE— THE  EXPENSE  IS  LITTLE. 


FOR  PRIVATE  TREATMENT  OF  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS.        109 

Scours  can  always  be  traced  to  indigestion.  Charcoal  and 
sulphur,  with  a  few  doses  of  Renovator  Powders,  stop  Scouring 
and  aid  digestion. 

P/7es.  — Found  generally  in  pigs  fed  on  refuse  milk  from  a 
creamery  or  cheese  factory,  which  causes  extreme  constipation. 
Give  purge  of  Epsom  salts  or  castor  oil.  Grease  the  protruding 
rectum  with  sweet  oil  and  inject  the  All-Healing  Balm  three 
times  a  day  for  two  days.  Feed  crushed  feed,  with  pure  water 
to  drink. 

Abscess. — Abscesses  are  generally  found  on  the  under  side  of 
the  neck,  on  the  legs,  or  in  the  groins.  They  are  sometimes 
caused  by  blows  that  bruise  the  bone;  more  often  by  impure  blood 
and  a  general  run-down  condition.  Apply  my  Electric  Hoof 
Ointment,  to  soften  the  skin,  until  they  come  to  a  head;  then  open 
with  a  knife,  so  that  the  corruption  can  be  freely  discharged. 
Syringe  the  cavity  with  a  solution  of  Karbo  Cream.  This  will 
disinfect  and  heal.  It  is  very  important  to  feed  the  Renovator 
Powders  in  bran  mashes  during  treatment. 

Rheumatism. — Take  oil  of  wintergreen,  oil  of  sassafras,  and 
spirits  of  turpentine,  each  one  ounce;  mix  and  give  30-drop 
doses  three  times  a  day  for  three  or  four  days.  Rub  the  legs 
well  with  a  corn-cob  or  stiff  brush  and  apply  the  Special  Liniment 
to  the  parts  affected  and  over  the  spine.  Feed  soft  food,  adding 
Renovator  Powders. 

Things  to  Remember. — That  pork  is  the  principal  meat  diet  of 
most  families;  that  healthy  pork  cannot  be  expected  from  filthy 
and  disease-laden  quarters;  that  Karbo  Cream  disinfectant  kills 
germs  and  purifies  the  air,  is  cheap  and  is  a  necessity  where 
domestic  animals  are  kept  for  profit;  that  no  man  can  afford  to 
combine  filth  and  disease  germs  with  what  he  or  his  family 
expects  to  eat.

DISEASES  OF  SHEEP  AND  HOW  TO  TREAT  THEM 
WITH  DR,  LESURE'S  REMEDIES. 

The  diseases  of  sheep  are  numerous,  for  these  animals  are  now 
so  highly  cultivated  that  they  may  be  regarded  in  some  respects 
as  artificial  machines;  and  thus  as  a  natural  consequence  they  are 
subject  to  a  variety  of  artificial  defects  and  maladies.  Being  the 
most  timid  of  all  domestic  animals,  they  are  naturally  more 
susceptible  to  disease  when  scattered  over  such  a  wide  expanse 
of  territory  and  through  such  different  climates  as  this  country 

subjects  them  to. 
Distemper,  Snifldes, 
Catarrh,  etc.,  seem  to 
be  the  most  trouble- 
some ailments  that 
sheep  are  subject  to, 
soon  causing  debility 
and  a  general  run- 
down condition,  from 
which  recovery  is 
slow,  unless  prompt 
treatment  is  given.  Dr.  Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops,  in  10- 
to  15-drop  doses  twice  a  day,  will  soon  relieve  any  cough  and 
will  act  finely  as  a  tonic  in  building  up  the  system  when  it  is 
in  a  run-down  condition. 

Bronchitis,  or  inflammation  of  the  bronchial  tubes,  is  very 
dangerous,  causing  convulsive  coughing,  running  at  the  nose, 
etc.  Dr.  Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops,  in  10-  to  15-drop 
doses,  placed  well  back  on  the  tongue,  will  effect  a  cure  in  a  few 
days.  Feed  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  Powders,  one  powder  to 
three  sheep,  to  cleanse  the  system. 

Pneumonia.— Brought  on  by  sudden  exposure,  causing  chills 
and  fever,  with  great  thirst.  Death  follows  in  from  one  to  two 
days  unless  treatment  is  prompt.  Give  a  mild  physic  at  once,  if 
the  animal  is  constipated,  and  follow  with  drenches  of  10  grains 
of  tartar  emetic  and  one  dram  of  ground  ginger  in  four  ounces 
of  warm  water.  Sometimes  the  symptoms  of  Pneumonia  are  not 
immediately  followed  by  death,  but  degenerate  into  an  ulcera- 
tion of  the  lungs.  The  affection  is  then  called  Glanderous  Rot. 
This  stage  is  always  fatal. 


WE  WARRANT  EVERY  BOTTLE. 


FOR  PRIVATE  TREATMENT  OF  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS.        Ill 

A  Chronic  Cough  in  sheep,  when  not  symptomatic  of  Rot,  is 
easily  cured  by  a  change  of  pasturage  and  a  few  doses  of  Dr. 
Lesure's  Cough  and  Tonic  Drops. 

InBammation  of  the  Stomach  occurs  from  various  causes,  a 
common  one  being  the  eating  of  noxious  vegetables,  and  pro- 
duces the  affection  termed  '^  Tremblings."  It  also  produces  the 
**  Grass  111 "  in  lambs,  which  latter  is  always  accompanied  with 
black  foetid  foeces,  and  is  readily  removed  by  an  ounce  of  castor 
oil ;  while  the  former  usually  yields  to  half  an  ounce  of  turpen- 
tine beaten  up  with  the  yolk  of  an  ^gg.  Some  herbs,  as  Atropa 
belladonna,  when  eaten  produces  spasmodic  affections,  often 
called  *  *  Leaping  111 . "  In  such  cases  take  two  drams  of  powdered 
aloes,  beat  up  with  the  yolk  of  an  tgg^  add  three  ounces  of  water, 
and  give  the  whole  as  a  drench. 

Hoveiiy  or  Wind  Coi/c— Sheep  are  as  liable  to  be  distended 
with  an  enormous  collection  of  gas  in  the  stomach,  the  same  as 
cattle.  GivelO-drop  doses  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Colic  Cure.  A  strong 
solution  of  salt  and  water,  given  as  a  drench,  is  also  beneficial. 

Scouring  is  the  diarrhoea  of  sheep  and,  in  very  hot  weather, 
soon  carries  them  off.  It  should  be  early  attended  to  by  separat- 
ing the  affected  and  housing  them.  First  give  an  ounce  dose  of 
castor  oil,  and  follow  with  tablespoonful  doses  of  the  following 
mixture:  Powdered  chalk,  one  ounce;  tannin  one-half  ounce; 
extract  of  witch-hazel,  one-half  pint.  Feed  my  Renovator  Pow- 
ders for  a  week. 

Care  of  Ewes. — When  nearing  lambing  season,  the  ewes  should 
have  special  attention  in  every  particular.  Strong,  healthy  ewes 
are  sure  to  drop  robust  lambs.  For  at  least  one  month  before  the 
time  for  lambing,  all  ewes  should  be  fed  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator 
Powders,  one  dose  box  to  three  sheep  at  least  three  times  a 
week.  Add  a  liberal  amount  of  linseed  meal,  with  wheat  bran 
and  salt,  to  their  diet  to  keep  the  bowels  in  a  smooth  lax  con- 
dition. For  Colic  or  after-pains,  a  few  5-drop  doses  of  my  No. 
1  Colic  Cure  will  relieve  them  in  a  short  time. 

Caked  Udder.— Bathe  the  udder  thoroughly  with  Dr.  Lesure's 
Fever  Drops.   One  or  two  applications  will  effect  a  positive  cure. 

Salting  Sheep. — A  very  successful  sheep  raiser  once  informed 
me  that  he  always  made  it  a  rule  to  mix  a  quantity  of  flowers 
of  sulphur  with  the  salt  and  found  it  kept  his  herd  almost 
disease-proof 

TO  GIVE  SATISFACTION 


112  DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 

Constipation— SheQp  often  become  constipated,  especially  dur- 
ing the  winter  months.  The  ailment  often  becomes  so  acute 
that  it  causes  them  torn  oan  with  pain  when  voiding  dung.  Give 
three  to  five  ounces  Epsom  salts,  also  injections  of  melted 
lard  or  linseed  oil. 

InBamed  Liver  Yellows  are  liver  affections  arising  from  fever 
setting  in  that  organ  or  from  obstructed  bile  irritating  it.  Some- 
times there  are  strong  marks  of  fever  and  at  others  more  of 
putrid  corruption.  Give  once  each  day  three  grains  of  calomel 
for  six  days,  then  work  it  off  with  a  physic  of  two  ounces  of 
castor  oil  or  four  ounces  of  Epsom  salts .  Separate  those  affected 
from  the  herd,  to  a  salt  marsh  if  possible,  and  feed  my  Renova- 
tor Powders  daily  for  a  while  to  tone  up  the  system. 

Foot  Rot.— This  disease  is  similar  to  Rotten  Claw  in  cattle 
and  should  be  treated  promptly.  It  is  mostly  caused  by  wet 
pastures  or  foul  matter  in  yards  or  sheds  where  the  sheep  are 
housed .  The  first  symptom  is  a  slight  limping  movement,  which 
rapidly  increases  to  a  severe  lameness  when  treatment  is  post- 
poned. First,  the  foot  should  be  thoroughly  examined  and  all 
diseased  matter  removed  from  the  cleft  between  the  toes  with  a 
sharp  knife.  Then  apply  a  strong  solution  of  Karbo  Cream  to 
thoroughly  cleanse  and  disinfect  all  the  parts  affected.  The  very 
best  and  surest  way  to  accomplish  this  is  to  construct  a  trough 
about  twenty  feet  long  and  just  wide  enough  for  one  sheep  to 
stand  in,  board  up  the  sides,  and  then  place  in  it  a  solution  of 
one  part  of  Karbo  Cream  to  thirty  parts  of  warm  water  so  as  to 
cover  the  bottom  to  a  depth  of  about  two  inches.  Run  the  sheep 
into  this  solution.  Four  or  five  sheep  can  be  treated  at  one  time. 
Allow  them  to  remain  in  the  foot-bath  from  ten  to  fifteen  minutes 
at  a  time.  Remove  and  apply  the  All-Healing  Balm.  A  few 
treatments  will  effect  a  permanent  cure.  Feed  my  Renovator 
Powders,  to  throw  off  all  impure  matter  from  the  blood. 

How  to  Protect  Sheep  from  GadBy.— This  fly  is  very  danger- 
ous to  sheep,  as  it  lays  its  eggs  in  the  nostrils  during  the  months 
of  August  and  September.  There  they  are  hatched  into  worms 
that  crawl  up  through  nasal  channels  into  the  head,  oftentimes 
eating  through  to  the  brain.  The  best  protection  is  tar,  well 
smeared  over  the  sheep's  nose  during  these  two  months.  Also 
spread  tar  over  lick  boards  and  sprinkle  fine  salt  over  it.  Pre- 
vention is  always  better  than  trying  to  cure.

How  to  Know  Age  of  Sheep. — At  one  year  old,  sheep  have 
ei^ht  small  teeth  in  front  lower  jaw,  called  incisors  or  cutters, 
all  very  uniform  in  size;  at  two  ^^ears  old,  the  two  middle  ones 
have  fallen  out,  being  replaced  by  two  large  ones;  at  three  years, 
a  small  one  appears  on  each  side  of  the  large  ones;  at  four  years, 
they  have  six  large  teeth,  atfive3^ears,  the  whole  eight  are  large 
teeth ;  at  six  years  old,  the  teeth  show  a  worn  condition,  some- 
times several  being  partly  broken,  while  in  other  cases  one  or 
two  teeth  are  entirely  missing. 

Milk-sick  Lambs. — Caused  by  taking  too  much  milk  into  the 
stomach  from  a  full  udder;  comes  on  suddenly,  causing  a  swol- 
len and  distressed  appearance.  The  milk  has  become  like  thick 
curd  in  the  stomach.  Give  at  once  30  drops  of  aromatic  spirits 
of  ammonia  in  a  tablespoonful  of  water  and  follow  with  an 
ounce  of  sweet  oil  or  the  same  of  powdered  magnesia. 

Diarrhoea  in  Lambs. — Treat  with  same  kind  of  medicine  and 
same  size  of  doses  as  3'ou  would  give  to  children:  powdered 
chalk,  laudanum,  peppermint  drops,  ginger,  etc.  Follow^  with 
small  dose  of  Epsom  salts  or  castor  oil. 

To  Destroy  Sheep  Ticks.— Make  a  solution  of  75  gallons  of 
warm  water  and  one  gallon  of  Karbo  Cream.  This  wnll  make  the 
finest  sheep  dip  in  the  w^orld,  as  it  will  destroy  all  ticks  and  will 
not  injure  either  the  sheep  or  the  wool.  The  best  time  to  dip 
sheep  is  soon  after  shearing  time,  as  then  the  ticks  will  be  found 
on  the  lambs,  having  no  shelter  on  the  sheared  sheep.  It  takes 
three  persons  to  dip  sheep  properly  —  two  to  hold  and  dip  the 
animal,  the  third  to  squeeze  the  wool  with  the  sheep  held  over 
the  tub.    Be  sure  to  keep  the  head  out  of  the  solution. 

How  to  Fatten  Sheep.— Clover  hay,  when  cut  while  in  full 
bloom  and  properly  cured,  will  fatten  sheep.  A  sheep  weighing 
100  to  110  pounds  will  consume  about  20  pounds  of  hay  in  a 
week,  and  take  on  about  two  pounds  in  w^eight.  By  adding  a 
small  ration  of  good  oats  each  day,  the  fattening  process  wnll  be 
made  much  more  rapid.  Pine  boughs  given  occasionally  will 
increase  the  appetite.  Remember  that  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator 
Powders  saves  its  cost  many  times  over  in  aiding  digestion, 
purifying  the  blood,  and  causing  a  fine,  healthy  appearance  in 
all  domestic  animals. 

Castrating  Lambs. —  Ma3^  be  performed  any  time  from  the 
age  of  a  fortnight  to  that  of  a  month  or  six  weeks. 

CARELESSNESS  CAUSES  THE  DEATH  OF  MANY  ANIMALS. 


114  DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 

Poison. — Sheep  are  often  poisoned  by  eating  laurel  or  ivy,  as 
it  is  commonly  called  (notthemagnolium).  The  symptoms  are: 
foaming  at  the  mouth,  and  then  vomiting  the  half-masticated 
leaves  and  green  juice,  by  v^hich  the  mouth  of  the  animal  is 
often  discolored. 

Remedy.— Take  a  gill  of  either  sweet  oil,  hog's  lard,  or  fresh 
butter;  mix  with  a  pint  of  nev7  milk.  If  taken  seasonably  this 
will  effect  a  cure.  Or  an  egg  may  be  given  to  each  of  the  diseased 
in  the  shape  of  a  bolus,  by  simply  breaking  the  shell  and  slipping 
the  yolk  and  as  much  of  the  white  as  practicable  down  the  throat. 
The  sheep,  after  swallowing  the  egg,  will  vomit  up  the  leaves 
and  green  juice,  but  none  of  the  eggs.  To  cows  give  four  times 
the  quantity. 

Sore  Nipples.— hamhs  often  die  of  hunger  from  their  dams 
refusing  them  suck.  The  cause  of  this  is  either  Sore  Nipples 
or  Tumor  in  the  udder,  in  which  violent  pain  is  caused  by  the 
bunting  of  the  lamb.  My  All-Healing  Balm  heals  Sore  Nipples 
and  allays  inflammation. 


GESTATION  PERIOD  OF  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS* 

The  mare  is  said  to  be  in  foal  eleven  months,  or  330  days. 
Young  mares  sometimes  foal  at  ten  months,  while  others  have 
extended  the  time  to  one  year,  and  in  rare  cases  to  400  days. 
A  mare  kept  at  regular  work  will  breed  longer  than  one  not 
having  any  exercise,  and  as  a  rule  foal  stronger  colts. 

The  best  years  to  breed  a  mare  are  from  4  to  15  years 
continuously. 

The  period  of  gestation  in  the  cow  is  about  40  weeks  or  9 
calendar  months ;  in  the  ewe,  five  months  or  150  days ;  in  the 
sow,  110  to  130  days ;  and  in  the  bitch,  from  60  to  65  days. 
The  heifer  can  be  safely  bred  when  fourteen  months  old.

Dr.  Lesure. 

Dear  Sir:  I  have  used  your  remedies  for  a  number  of  years  with  the 
best  of  results.  I  never  have  had  anything  to  equal  the  Colic  Cure,  Ointment 
and  Cough  Drops.    Can  cure  the  worst  case  of  Heaves  in  two  months.

EVERYBODY  ADMIRES  A  GOOD  HORSE.

SOME  PRACTICAL  HINTS* 

Never  purchase  a  horse  until  you  have  seen  it  harnessed, 
hitched,  and  unharnessed,  and  have  examined  its  wind,  eyes, 
and  feet  carefully.  Remember  that  cheap  horses  as  a  rule  are 
dear  at  any  price.  Never  trade  horses  with  a  stranger  or  give 
a  cash  consideration. 

Remember  it  is  easier  and  more  profitable  to  prevent  disease 
than  to  cure  it.  Feed  Dr.  Lesure's  Renovator  Powders  and  pre- 
vent stomach  and  bowel  trouble.  At  the  first  sign  of  worms  get 
a  50-cent  package  of  my  Worm  Annihilator.  Follow  directions 
carefully,  and  it  will  dispel  the  parasites  in  a  short  time. 

Teeth.  — Have  your  horse's  teeth  examined  at  least  once  a 
year.  Incomplete  mastication  will  cause  indigestion.  Neither 
food  nor  medicine  can  do  much  good  when  the  horse  is  not 
grinding  his  food  properly. 

Beware  of  the  man  who  tells  you  that  you  will  surely  be 
cheated  unless  you  buy  and  use  his  stock-in-trade.  Good  goods 
are  like  good  deeds ;  they  will  show  for  themselves. 


YOUR  HORSE  NEEDS  MORE  CARE  THAN  YOURSELF. 


116  DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 

Never  employ  a  surgeon  by  the  year.  Call  him  when  you 
need  him  ;  then  settle  promptly.  You  will  receive  better  service. 
Many  horses  die  every  year  from  lack  of  prompt  treatment. 

Colic  is  dangerous  if  not  treated  in  the  early  stages.  Keep 
Dr.  Lesure's  Colic  Cure  on  hand  at  all  times.  It  is  safe,  sure, 
and  easy  to  give.  Follow  with  a  few  doses  of  the  Fever  Drops 
to  ward  off  inflammation  of  the  bowels. 

When  you  are  compelled  to  drive  your  horse  into  a  heated 
condition,  see  that  it  is  cooled  off  properly.  A  few  30-drop 
doses  of  my  Fever  Drops  and  a  good  hand  rubbing  may  save 
you  a  valuable  horse. 

Blankets  were  made  to  protect  the  horse,  not  for  ornaments 
on  the  carriage  or  sleigh. 

The  Stable  should  be  light,  dry,  and  well  ventilated,  so  that 
the  ammonia  and  other  gases  can  escape.  See  that  all  feed- 
ing-boxes are  kept  sweet  and  clean,  and  disinfect  the  floors. 

Never  strike  your  horse  suddenly  when  on  sHppery  streets. 
The  whip  should  be  used  only  in  cases  of  emergency.  A  firm 
word  of  encouragement  will  cause  a  well-trained  horse  to  do 
his  best. 

Filthy  Stalls  cause  Thrush,  Scratches,  and  Grease- Heel. 
Remove  the  manure  daily. 

Never  force  your  horse  past  an  object  he  shies  at  with  the 
whip.  Give  him  time  to  recover  from  his  fright;  then  speak 
to  him  gently,  when  he  will  move  on  without  fear. 

Horses  that  are  fed  heavily  and  worked  hard  should  have 
the  feed  reduced,  or  changed  to  bran  and  oat  mash  when  idle, 
if  only  for  a  few  days;  otherwise  you  can  expect  Azoturia, 
Paralysis,  etc.,  when  putting  them  to  work  again. 

Avoid  leaving  a  horse  that  has  been  driven  warm  to  stand 
facing  a  cold  wind. 

Never  breed  an  unsound  mare  nor  breed  to  an  unsound  horse. 
You  cannot  expect  a  colt  to  be  better  than  its  sire  or  dam. 

Treat  all  skin  abrasions  or  harness  galls  as  soon  as  noticed. 
Remember  the  ''stitch  in  time"  maxim. 

Horse  Stalls  should  be  at  least  six  feet  wide  and  ten  feet  long, 
sloping  slightly  to  the  rear. 

Never  quarrel  with  your  horse.  Be  firm,  but  kind.  Remember 
that  he  is  a  noble,  high-spirited  animal  and  should  be  treated 
well  under  all  circumstances. 

KEEP  A  GOOD  SUPPLY  OF  REMEDIES  ON  HAND.

Never  purchase  a  horse  with  a  weak,  narrow  chest;  the 
broader  the  chest  the  stronger  the  constitution. 

Remember  that  Dr.  Lesure's  Electric  Hoof  Ointment  grows 
smooth,  soft,  and  tough  hoofs. 

Always  keep  a  full  line  of  my  Specific  Remedies  in  the  stable. 
They  are  safe,  sure,  and  reliable. 

Every  well-regulated  farm  should  have  an  assortment  of  my 
Remedies  on  hand  at  all  times.  They  will  save  you  time,  worry, 
and  special  trips  to  town  for  medicines  or  the  surgeon.  The 
lack  of  prompt  treatment  for  their  domestic  animals  is  costing 
the  farmers  of  this  country  thousands  of  dollars  every  year. 

Do  not  forget  that  many  of  Dr.  Lesure's  Famous  Remedies 
are  the  very  best  that  can  be  obtained  for  family  use. 


SITFASTS. 

Sitfasts  occur  from  the  part  being  frequently  bruised  with  a 
saddle  or  collar  until  it  becomes  extremely  hard,  and  after  re- 
maining some  length  of  time  it  is  not  unlike  a  horny  substance. 
A  satisfactory  cure  cannot  be  expected  unless  the  knife  is  used, 
cutting  them  entirely  out,  after  which  the  fresh  wound  can  be 
healed  with  the  greatest  ease  in  a  very  short  time  with  Dr. 
Lesure's  All-Healing  Balm. 


BLAZE  OR  STAR* 

When  you  have  a  pair  of  horses  that  match  well  in  every 
respect  except  that  one  has  a  blaze  or  star  in  the  face,  it  becomes 
very  interesting  and  important  to  know  how  to  make  their  faces 
match  and  to  give  them  stars  precisely  alike.  This  may  be  done 
in  the  following  manner :  Take  a  razor  and  shave  off  the  hair 
the  form  and  size  you  wish  the  star  to  be  made;  then  take  a  small 
quantity  of  oil  of  vitriol  and  wnth  a  feather  anoint  the  part 
once,  which  w411  be  quite  sufficient.  After  the  application  of  the 
vitriol  the  part  will  become  a  little  sore  and  inflamed.  Heal  the 
sore  with  Dr.  Lesure's  All-Healing  Balm  and  grease  the  spot 
with  castor  oil,  when  the  hair  will  grow  out  entirely  white.

EVOLUTION  OF  THE  TWO-MINUTE  HORSK 

Yankee  (2.59)  was  the  first  to  trot  a  mile  under  three  minutes. 
That  was  on  June  5, 1806.  Lady  Suffolk  was  the  first  in  the  2.30 
list,  she  making  a  mark  of  2.29V2  at  Beacon  Course,  October  15, 
1845.  Flora  Temple  (2.19%), at  Kalamazoo, October  15, 1859, 
heralded  the  way  for  the  2.20  class.  Dexter  made  a  stallion 
record  of  2.17^  at  Bufi'alo,  August  14,  1867.  Smuggler,  at 
Hartford,  August  31, 1876,  lowered  this  mark  to  2.15^.  Rarus 
made  a  gelding  record  of  2.13^4  at  Buffalo,  August  11,  1878. 
Goldsmith  Maid  made  the  first  record  below  2.15  by  trotting  a 
mile  at  Rochester,  August  12, 1874,  in  2.14%.  Jay  Eye  See  got 
a  mark  of  2.09^  at  Cleveland  in  1884,  and  Maud  S. ,  the  following 
year,  at  Cleveland,  did  a  mile  in  2.08%.  Later  records  were: 
Axtell,  three-year-old  stallion  record  of  2.12,  at  Terre  Haute, 
October,  1889  ;  Sunol,  2.08l^,  at  Stockton,  Cal.,  October,  1891 ; 
Arion,  two-year-old,  2.10%,  at  Stockton,  October,  1891;  Nancy 
Hanks,  2.04  (bicycle- wheeled  sulky),  at  Terre  Haute,  September, 
1892;  Directum,  four-year-old,  2.0514,  at  Nashville,  October 
1893;  Alix,  2.03%,  at  Galesburg,  111.,  September,  1894;  The 
Abbott,  2.03^,  at  Terre  Haute,  September,  1900;  Cresceus, 
2.02%,  at  Cleveland,  July,  1901 ;  Major  Delmar,  2.02^4,  at  Read- 
ville,  August,  1903;  Lou  Dillon,  1.58V2,  at  Memphis,  October, 
1903;  Dan  Patch,  1.55,  at  St.  Paul,  September,  1906.

Drowning. — Loosen  clothing,  if  any.  2.  Empty  lungs  of  water  by  lay- 
ing body  on  its  stomach  and  lifting  it  by  the  middle  so  that  the  head 
hangs  down.  Jerk  the  body  a  few  times.  3.  Pull  tongue  forward,  using 
handkerchief,  or  a  pin  with  string  if  necessary.  4.  Imitate  motion  of 
respiration  by  alternately  compressing  and  expanding  the  lower  ribs,  about 
twenty  times  a  minute.  Alternately  raising  and  lowering  the  arms  from 
the  sides  up  above  the  head  will  stimulate  the  action  of  the  lungs.  Let  it 
be  done  gently  but  persistently.  5,  Apply  warmth  and  friction  to  extremi- 
ties. 6.  By  holding  tongue  forward,  closing  the  nostrils,  and  pressing  the 
"Adam's  apple"  back  (so  as  to  close  entrance  to  stomach),  direct  inflation

of  the  patient,  compress  the  chest  to  expel  the  air,  and  repeat  the  operation. 
7.  Don't  give  up!  People  have  been  saved  after  hours  of  patient,  vigorous 
effort.  8.  When  breathing  begins,  get  patient  into  a  warm  bed  and  give 
warm  drinks,  or  spirits  in  teaspoonfuls.    Fresh  air  and  quiet  are  essential. 

Lightning.— Dash  cold  water  over  the  person  struck. 

MY  REMEDIES  ARE  ALL  PUT  UP  IN  HANDY  FORM. 


120  DR.  J.  G.  LESURE'S  VETERINARY  REMEDIES 

Burns  and  Scalds. — Cover  with  cooking  soda  and  lay  wet  cloths  over  it ; 
or  apply  whites  of  eggs  and  olive  oil,  olive  oil,  or  linseed  oil,  plain  or  mixed, 
with  chalk  or  whiting,  or  sweet  or  olive  oil  and  lime-water. 

SunsfroAc— Loosen  clothing,  get  patient  into  shade,  and  apply  ice-cold 
water  to  head.    Keep  head  in  elevated  position. 

Mad-Dog  or  Snake  Bite.— Tie  cord  tight  above  wound.  Suck  the  wound 
and  cauterize  with  caustic  or  with  white-hot  iron  at  once,  or  cut  out 
adjoining  parts  with  sharp  knife.    Give  stimulants,  as  whiskey,  brandy,  etc. 

Stings  of  Venomous  Insects,  efc— Apply  weak  ammonia,  oil,  salt  water, 
or  iodine. 

Fainting.— Place  flat  on  back,  admit  fresh  air,  and  sprinkle  with  water. 
Place  head  lower  than  rest  of  body. 

Cinders  in  the  £>c.— Roll  soft  paper  up  like  a  lamplighter  and  wet  the 
tip  to  remove  it,  or  use  a  medicine  dropper  to  draw  it  out.  Rub  the  other 
eye. 

Fire  in  One's  Clothing. —  Don't  run,  especially  not  down  stairs  or  out-of- 
doors.  Roll  on  carpet  or  wrap  in  woolen  rug  or  blanket.  Keep  the  head 
down,  so  as  not  to  inhale  flame. 

Fire  from  Kerosene.— Don't  use  water;  it  will  spread  the  flames.  Dirt, 
sand,  or  flour  is  the  best  extinguisher;  or  smother  with  woolen  rug,  table- 
cloth or  carpet. 

Suffocation  from  Inhaling  Illuminating  Gas.  —  Get  into  the  fresh  air  as 
soon  as  possible  and  lie  down.  Keep  warm.  Take  ammonia,  twenty  drops

How  to  Measure  Liquids* 

For  convenience  in  the  absence  of  proper  instruments  you  can  make  use 
of  means  of  measurement  which,  although  not  exactly  uniform,  will  give 
results  accurate  enough  for  all  ordinary  purposes.  There  are  certain  im- 
plements used  in  the  household  of  a  capacity  corresponding  to  a  certain 
extent  with  the  regular  Standard  Measures.  These  implements  have  a  fixed 
value,  with  which  the  practitioner  should  be  familiar.  However,  their 
capacity,  with  the  exception  of  the  wineglass,  almost  always  exceeds  the 
quantity  which  they  are  estimated  to  hold.
